Instructions

Imagine a cocktail that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also presents a visual and aromatic journey into the essence of autumn. The Autumn Whisper is a sophisticated concoction that employs the advanced mixology technique of smoked ice, adding a hauntingly woodsy aroma and subtly complex flavor to this seasonal delight. This cocktail beautifully combines the richness of bourbon with the crispness of apple cider and a homemade spiced syrup, creating a layered drinking experience that evolves with each sip. *Ingredients:* - 2 oz Bourbon - 1 oz Fresh apple cider - 0.5 oz Spiced syrup (homemade with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove) - 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice - 2 dashes of Angostura bitters - Smoked ice cubes (made by capturing smoke from applewood chips in a container with ice) - Garnish: Thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick *Spiced Syrup:* - Combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 5 cloves, and a small piece of nutmeg in a saucepan. - Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. - Allow to cool, then strain into a clean bottle. *Smoked Ice:* - Place dry applewood chips in a smoker or a clean metal container that can be used on a stovetop. - Light the chips until they smolder and produce smoke. - Place a bowl of ice above the smoke, and cover to trap the smoke, for about 2-3 minutes. - Allow the ice to melt slightly and refreeze it, capturing the smoky flavor. *Preparation:* 1. In a cocktail shaker filled with regular ice cubes, combine bourbon, apple cider, spiced syrup, lemon juice, and Angostura bitters. 2. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold, about 15-20 seconds. 3. Place a smoked ice cube in a chilled old-fashioned glass. 4. Strain the cocktail over the smoked ice. 5. Garnish with a thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick. The Autumn Whisper is served in an old-fashioned glass, allowing the smoked ice cube to be a focal point, slowly melting and changing the dynamics of the cocktail with every sip. The smoky aroma invites you to a fireside in the crisp autumn air, while the richness of bourbon and the sweetness of the spiced apple blend harmoniously, reminiscent of fall's comforting embrace. This drink is not just a cocktail; it's an experience, bridging the art of mixology with the evocative powers of flavors and scents.
