Instructions

Description: Velvet Smoke is a cocktail that harmonizes the robust flavors of bourbon with the subtle sweetness of velvet falernum, complemented by the smokiness of a Lapsang Souchong tea syrup. This drink is a sophisticated symphony of rich smoke, underlying sweetness, and the complexity of citrus and spice. Served over ice with a twist of orange peel and a sprig of fresh thyme, it offers a refreshing yet deep and warming taste experience. Ideal for an elegant evening or as a contemplative nightcap.
