Smoked Old Fashioned

A smoked old fashioned is the classic bourbon cocktail — bourbon, bitters, sugar, and an orange peel — finished with ten to twenty seconds of cherry wood smoke captured under a glass-top smoker. The smoke changes the aroma before the first sip without altering the recipe itself.
