Description: Velvet Smoke is a cocktail that marries the complex flavors of aged bourbon with the delicate essence of lavender and the deep, rich notes of smoked wood. This concoction uses the advanced mixology technique of smoking the glass to infuse the drink with a mesmerizing aroma and flavor, providing an unforgettable experience for the senses. Perfect for an evening of relaxation or a sophisticated gathering, Velvet Smoke is sure to impress with its elegance and depth. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Bourbon - 0.5 oz Lavender Simple Syrup - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - 1 Large Ice Sphere - Orange Peel (for garnish) - Fresh Lavender Sprig (for garnish) - Oak Wood Chips (for smoking) Glass: - Double Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. **Prepare the Smoked Glass:** Begin by placing a small amount of oak wood chips in a smoking gun. Light the chips, and direct the smoke into a clean, dry double old fashioned glass. Cover the glass with a coaster or a plate to trap the smoke for about one minute, allowing the interior to thoroughly infuse with the smoky aroma. Remove the cover just before you're ready to make the cocktail. 2. **Mix the Cocktail:** In a mixing glass, combine the aged bourbon, lavender simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well for about 30 seconds, or until well-chilled. 3. **Prepare the Garnish:** Use a vegetable peeler or a knife to cut a wide strip of orange peel. Express (squeeze) the orange peel over the smoked glass to release its oils, and then rub the peel around the rim of the glass. Set aside. 4. **Assemble the Drink:** Place the large ice sphere in the bottom of the pre-smoked double old fashioned glass. Strain the chilled cocktail mixture over the ice sphere. Garnish with the prepared orange peel and a fresh sprig of lavender. 5. **Serve & Enjoy:** Serve immediately, allowing your guests to enjoy the enchanting smoke aroma before taking their first sip. The smoky glass, combined with the rich flavors of bourbon and the floral notes of lavender, creates a truly mesmerizing cocktail experience.
