A rich and smoky twist on the classic Old Fashioned, this cocktail showcases the deep, caramelized flavors of aged rum enhanced by the bold aroma of wood smoke. Balanced with a touch of sweetness and bitters, the Smoked Rum Old Fashioned delivers a sophisticated sipping experience with a tropical edge. Perfect for rum enthusiasts looking for a modern, smoky upgrade to a timeless favorite.
Tip: When you smoke the glass first, the smoke will cling to the sides, and with every sip, your nose will catch that smoky aroma. While the drink itself remains unchanged, your senses will be tricked into thinking the entire profile has shifted, adding a unique layer of depth to each sip. Some prefer to smoke the completed drink again for visual effect, which is perfectly fine, but keep in mind that the smoke will only linger on the surface of the liquid.
