Description
Our range of premium quality smoking chips come prepped and ready to grace your cocktails.
These smoking chips create smoke, scent and flavor that transports those nearby to the warmth of an open fire and the lure of the outdoors.
Impress your guests with a new ingredient that will leave their senses pining for more.
Our smoking chips are proudly made in the US, and have been carefully fine-tuned for years by the original cocktail smokers.
At Middleton Mixology, we’re passionate about what we do and our world-class wood chips speak for themselves.
These are wood chips for a cocktail smoker like the SmokeTop: load a small amount into the chimney, just enough to cover the screen, and torch from above.
Choose a single flavor (Alder, Apple, Cherry, Cinnamon, Hickory, Maple, Mesquite, Oak or Pecan) or one of two four-packs: Cherry, Hickory, Maple and Oak, or Alder, Apple, Cinnamon and Mesquite.
Not sure which cocktail wood chips to start with? Cherry is the default pairing for bourbon and rye.
Oak and hickory are stronger, and apple and alder are lighter.
The wood and spirit pairing guide covers the rest.

How to Use
- 1
Choose your chips
Select a wood to complement your finished cocktail. Add a small pinch to the mesh screen in your SmokeTop. These are refill chips; a smoker, torch, and fuel are separate unless you buy a bundle.
- 2
Light over the glass
Rest SmokeTop on a compatible glass and light the chips with your torch, following the torch manufacturer’s instructions. The underside grooves allow airflow as smoke moves into the glass.
- 3
Lift and enjoy
Smoke transfers on contact. Lift SmokeTop and enjoy the aroma with your drink; no fixed capture time is needed. Let the screen and spent chips cool before cleaning or refilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Due to shipping restrictions, butane cannot be shipped internationally. We recommend purchasing butane locally in your country.
Each SmokeTop is designed for 500+ uses with proper care. The screens will need occasional replacement (5 replacement screens included).
Cherry provides sweet, fruity notes perfect for whiskey cocktails. Hickory adds bold, smoky flavor great for mezcal drinks. Maple gives subtle sweetness ideal for rum cocktails. Oak delivers classic smoky depth perfect for bourbon.
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the device's finish and extend its lifespan. Simply rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
Start with 5-10 seconds of smoking time using Middleton Mixology's signature process. You can always add more, but you can't take it away. Adjust based on your preference and the wood chip variety.
The SmokeTop sits above the drink (not in it) with patented twin-tail airflow for clean contact smoking. It's bartender-designed, American-made, and built for professional durability.
We recommend using our food-grade wood chips for safety and optimal flavor. Other chips may contain chemicals or produce inconsistent results.

Start with the wood and spirit pairing guide to match your drink. A smoke profile describes the character of an aroma, while smoke intensity describes its strength.
Chips are refills, with no torch or smoker included. Building your first setup? Compare cocktail smoker kits and check the fuel option before ordering. For a fruit-forward drink to try next, make a smoked strawberry smash.
