Instructions

Description: Immerse yourself in a multi-sensory experience with the Smoky Cherry Bourbon Bliss. This cocktail masterfully balances the rich and robust flavors of bourbon with the subtle sweetness of cherry and a sophisticated hint of smoke. The smoke infusion technique adds a layer of complexity, turning an already impressive drink into an intriguing masterpiece. Ingredients: - 2 oz high-quality bourbon - 1 oz cherry liqueur - 0.5 oz simple syrup - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Wood chips (preferably oak or cherry wood) - Fresh cherries for garnish - Ice cubes Glass: Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. **Prepare the Smoke Infusion**: a. Place a handful of wood chips in a smoking gun or a small metal tray. b. Light the wood chips using a lighter or match until they begin to smolder. c. Capture the smoke with a glass dome or any heat-resistant container. If you’re using a smoking gun, attach the tube to the dome. d. Infuse your Old Fashioned glass by upturning it over the container or directly channeling the smoke into the glass using the smoking gun. e. Let the smoke settle in the glass for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove the dome or lift the glass off the container, allowing the smoke to escape gently. 2. **Mix the Cocktail**: a. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, cherry liqueur, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. b. Add ice cubes and stir the mixture well for about 20-30 seconds, ensuring it's sufficiently chilled and diluted. 3. **Serve the Cocktail**: a. Fill the smoked Old Fashioned glass with a large ice cube, which melts more slowly and keeps the drink cold without diluting it too quickly. b. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the smoked Old Fashioned glass. 4. **Garnish**: a. Skewer two or three fresh cherries and lightly press them to release a touch of their juices into the drink. b. Place the cherry skewer on the rim of the glass for an elegant finish. Enjoy your Smoky Cherry Bourbon Bliss, where each sip offers a journey through layers of smoke, fruit, and spirit, culminating in a cocktail experience that is both familiar and refreshingly novel.
