How to Create Smoke-Infused Cocktails?
MOREStep 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Collect the ingredients for your
chosen cocktail and the necessary tools: a smoking gun, wood chips, a
glass cloche, and the cocktail glassware.
Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail
Mix your cocktail as you normally would, excluding any carbonated elements. Have it ready to go before introducing the smoke.
Step 3: Choose Your Wood Chips
Select
wood chips that complement the flavor of your cocktail. For a subtle,
sweet smokiness, try applewood; for a bolder flavor, experiment with
hickory or mesquite.
Step 4: Set Up the Smoking Apparatus
Load
the smoking gun with the chosen wood chips and ignite. Place the
smoking gun nozzle under the glass cloche or directly into the cocktail
glass.
Step 5: Infuse with Smoke
Release the smoke into
the cloche or glass and allow it to infuse the cocktail for 20-30
seconds. Adjust the infusion time based on your desired level of
smokiness.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the smoking
apparatus, swirl the cocktail to distribute the smoky flavors, and
garnish as desired. Serve immediately and savor the uniquely infused
cocktail experience.
Conclusion
Creating smoke-infused
cocktails is an exciting way to elevate your mixology skills. With the
right tools and a bit of experimentation, you'll be delighting your
taste buds and impressing guests with your smoky creations in no time!

Layer, in order.
Licor 43 Liqueur
Licor 43 Liqueur is bright yellow, vanilla flavoured Spanish liqueur invented in 1946 by the Zamora family. It is said to be based on an ancient recipe, and the name comes from the 43 herbs and botanicals used to make it. It is light and sweet with a dominant vanilla flavour, with bright citrus and warm cinnamon flavours following it. In Spain it is mostly known as cuarenta y tres.
Baileys Irish Cream
Bailey's Irish Cream is an Irish cream liqueur, a liqueur is an alcoholic drink made of distilled spirits and flavorings such as sugar, fruits, herbs, and spices. They can be rightfully christened as the descendants of herbal medicine. The Bailey's Irish Cream is a sweet, cream and cocoa flavoured thick liqueur with Irish Whiskey being the base alcohol and is one of the most popular liqueurs used in cocktail creation.
Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
Coffee liqueur is a liqueur produced by steeping roasted coffee, sugar and other ingredients in neutral spirit. The most famous coffee liqueur brands are Kahlua and Tia Maria, Kahlua has been made in Mexico since 1936.
However Kahlua has a thick buttery taste, that doesn't always appeal to the preferences of an alcoholic beverage lover. Which is why many people enjoy coffee liqueur made using their own home recipes.
Typical ingredients of coffee liqueur include liquor, espresso coffee, roasted coffee bean (and powder), sugar, and vanilla syrup.
The characteristic flavor of coffee along with over a couple of hundreds compounds contribute to the taste of coffee liqueur. Caffeine is a major ingredient of coffee, and also might be a taste factor that influences the complex flavour profile that appeal to coffee liqueur drinkers' palate.

NOTE: In the absence of a Coffee Liqueur like Kahlua or Tia Maria, to make cocktails with Coffee Liqueur, Coffee Liqueur Syrup can be used as a substitute with the proportionate alcohol substituted with a triple distilled neutral Vodka.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
