Instructions

The Velvet Smoke is a mesmerizing blend of bold flavors and smooth textures, creating a smoky yet velvety drink experience. It's designed for those who appreciate the depth of whiskey with a touch of elegance and mystery. The drink brings together the warmth of whiskey, the sweetness of vermouth, and the rich, earthy notes of chestnut liqueur, complemented by a wisp of actual smoke to intrigue the senses. Perfect for a chilly evening or a sophisticated gathering, the Velvet Smoke promises to be a memorable concoction. Ingredients: - 2 oz Smoky Whiskey (preferably one with a pronounced peaty flavor) - 0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth - 0.5 oz Chestnut Liqueur - 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters - Orange peel (for garnish) - Cherry wood chips (for smoking) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing a glass with smoke. Use cherry wood chips in a smoking gun or a similar device to fill a rocks glass with smoke. Cover the glass with a coaster to trap the smoke inside while you prepare the drink. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the smoky whiskey, sweet vermouth, chestnut liqueur, and Angostura bitters. Add ice and stir well for about 30 seconds to properly chill and dilute the mixture. 3. Remove the coaster and swiftly strain the mixture into the smoke-filled rocks glass. The quick exposure to air should allow the smoke to swirl within the glass as you pour, infusing the drink with a delicate smoky aroma. 4. Express the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then either drop it into the drink or rim the glass with it, according to preference. 5. Serve immediately, allowing the drinker to experience the layers of flavor and aroma as they mingle with each passing sip. Glass Type: Rocks glass Serving the Velvet Smoke in a rocks glass not only complements its sophisticated flavors but also allows the smoky aroma to be savored with each sip, enhancing the overall sensory experience. This drink is a testament to the beauty of whiskey, elevated through innovative mixology.
