00:00Yes, you can smoke a cocktail, and I'm going to show you how in three ways.
00:04First, smoke your simple syrup. Simple syrup is used in so many cocktails, and it's even
00:08better when you infuse smoke flavor. Place two cups of water and two cups of sugar in
00:12a pan on a 200 degree smoker and smoke it for two hours, stirring often. You can infuse
00:17the syrup even more by adding fruits, chilies, or herbs. To make a spicy margarita, add a
00:22little jalapeno-infused simple syrup to a glass of ice with tequila, triple sec, and
00:25lime juice. Next, try smoking your ice. Place a pan of water on a 200 degree smoker and
00:30smoke for three hours. Once you like the taste, let it cool, then pour it into ice molds and
00:35freeze. Make a smoked Old Fashioned by adding a smoked ice cube to a glass with some whiskey
00:39and bitters. For even more robust smoke, add a splash of smoked simple syrup. For a real
00:43show-stopping smoke cocktail, smoke the glass. Add a few wood chips to a smoking gun, light
00:48them up, and turn it on. Run the tube into your glass and fill it with smoke. Make your
00:51cocktail in a separate glass, then when it's time, flip that smoky glass over and pour
00:55in the libations. Enjoy responsibly, guys. Cheers.
