For anyone who enjoys a finely crafted cocktail, there is always another element or ingredient to play around with. If you've exhausted every possible liquid variation for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan cocktail, adding smoke to the equation might be a nice addition.
The Mr. Smokesome Kit is great for any mixologist or cocktail enthusiast to play around with. The kit ships in a very sleek and well organized box. The set includes a wooden smoker with a lid, 4 tins containing different wood chips, 2 metal mesh filters, a wooden bar display stand, a cleaning brush and a torch. You will need to purchase butane for the torch separately as it doesn't ship with any.
The wood chips that are included in the kit are Cherry, Oak, Apple and Hickory. The smoker is simple to use. After you mix your cocktail, pour it into a glass. Then put the smoker on top of the glass and insert a mesh filter in the hole. Choose your desired wood chips and add a pinch of them to the filter. Then use the torch to burn the chips for 5-10 seconds. Then put the lid on top of the smoker and let the smoke fill the glass. Let it sit for about 30-60 seconds then remove the smoker from the glass. Your smoked cocktail is ready to enjoy. We've had fun playing around with smoke variations. My current favorite is an Old Fashioned with a combination of oak and apple chips.
