Smokey Maple Peach Old Fashioned
Ingredients:
- 2 slices fresh ripe peach
- 1 cocktail cherry
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- 2 teaspoons dark maple syrup, or to taste
- 1 ½ ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
- Ice
Recipe
- To get the smokey taste you first have to smoke the glass. There are 2 ways to do this: first you can use a flavored plank or the 2nd method is to use flavored wood chips on a plain plank. Take a torch lighter to the plank or the wood chips (whichever you are using) until there is small fire about 1 inch, then put the glass over the flame, this will put the flame out and then cause smoke to fill the glass. Leave the glass for 30 seconds (longer for a more smokey taste.
- Flip the glass over and add ice, bourbon or rye whiskey, cherry, peach and then maple syrup. Swirl the drink with a bartenders spoon. The cherry will add sweetness so depending on your tastes you may want lighten up on the amount of syrup or skip it all together
- Enjoy
There is a video below of that demonstrates how to light the board or chips on fire. We recommend setting the plank on fire in a non flammable spot, we use a cookie / baking tray just to be safe.
