How to Smoke Whiskey without Specialized Equipment?
If you don’t have a smoke kit for cocktails, there is no problem to make this recipe, you can use a piece of wood or any non-flammable base as a mosaic piece, put some sticks of rosemary, cinnamon, or wood chips and light them with a torch gun and you will catch the smoke generated by covering it with an old-fashioned glass upside down and leaving it for a few minutes until you smoke the glass, then you will proceed to follow the instructions mentioned above.
May I suggest that if you are a cocktail lover, consider having a smoke kit or smoker gun, it would be a great gift! Many of the fancy bars have them for visual satisfaction and as a show for their guests.
The one that I use is called Auxbales Cocktail Smoker, I bought it on Amazon and its price quality is excellent! I really liked how easy it is to clean and use, it comes with 4 different flavors of wood chips, you just have to buy butane for the gun and it’s ready to smoke your creations!
