How to make a Smoked Old Fashioned
- Prepare the Glass: Start by chilling an old fashioned glass by filling it with ice cubes. Let it sit while you prepare the cocktail.
- Muddle: In a mixing glass, add the simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and a large ice cube. Stir gently to combine and slightly chill the mixture.
- Add Whiskey: Pour in the Clan Colla Irish Whiskey over the ice mixture in the mixing glass.
- Stir: Stir the ingredients gently for about 30 seconds to ensure proper mixing and chilling.
- Smoking (Optional): If you prefer a smoky flavor, you can smoke the cocktail. To do this, place the chilled old fashioned glass upside down over a wood chip smoke source (e.g., a smoking gun) for a few seconds to infuse the glass with smoke.
- Strain: Remove the ice from the chilled old fashioned glass. Using a strainer, carefully strain the cocktail mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared old fashioned glass.
- Garnish: Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Then, drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
Serve: Your Clan Colla - Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail is now ready to be served. Enjoy responsibly!
