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!

Vodka
Vodka is an European clear distilled alcoholic drink that has been one of the most popular drinks across the world .
You'll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it's neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.
Vodka often replaces Gin in many traditional cocktails
Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Watermelon Mix
Water might seem like one ubiquitous ingredient in any alcoholic beverage, and to have no specific purpose other than dilute the alcohol, to prevent irritation and burn, it has more purpose to its presence than it seems.
Water breaks the alcohol molecules and attaches to them and releases the esters that holds the secret to the aroma into the drink and to the nose. Temperature of water is important and although almost all cocktails are served chilled, be sure to understand the role water plays in a drink. Another factor is the quality of water, if you are serious about your cocktail, be sure to use the best neutral tap water or preferably bottled spring water if possible.Lemonade Mix
This sweetened lemon flavoured beverage is an eternal popular throughout the world and there are varieties of homemade lemonades found everywhere. In North Africa and South Asia, cloudy lemonade dominates, be sure if your cocktail requires a clear lemonade or a cloudy one, which is indication of fruit pulp presence in the mix.
Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.
