Smoked cocktails are beverages that incorporate smoke to enhance their flavor and presentation. This technique involves infusing the drink with smoke from various sources, such as wood chips or herbs, which adds a unique aroma and depth to the cocktail. Bartenders often use a smoking gun or a simple method of capturing smoke in a glass to achieve this effect. The process of creating a smoked cocktail typically begins with preparing the base drink, followed by introducing smoke to the mixture. Popular choices for smoked cocktails include whiskey and bourbon drinks, as the smoky flavor complements their rich profiles. This innovative approach has gained popularity in bars and restaurants, offering a sensory experience for cocktail enthusiasts.
