About the brand
Middleton Mixology was founded in 2018 by James Middleton, a bartender-turned-inventor who saw a gap between the theatrical cocktail smoking he was doing professionally and the tools available to home enthusiasts. The SmokeTop™ cocktail smoker — the company's flagship product — was designed to bring professional-quality cocktail smoking to any home bar or restaurant program.
The SmokeTop is American-made and designed to last 500+ uses. It requires no butane torches or specialized equipment — just a standard lighter or match. The result is a dramatic, aromatic addition to any cocktail in under five seconds.
Since launch, Middleton Mixology has built a community of cocktail enthusiasts, professional bartenders, and home entertainers who share a passion for elevating the cocktail experience. The brand's social media following spans YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, with content focused on cocktail education, recipe development, and the craft of smoking.
