Our favourite cocktail just got better! We’ve hooked up the Old Fashioned by adding smoke to make, well, the Smoked Old Fashioned. This recipe will be an instant hit at your next BBQ party.
1 orange
3 tbsp brown sugar
300mL bourbon
Bitters
100mL simple syrup
1. Set up BBQ for indirect cooking method on as low heat as possible - adding a few wood chips to start smoking.
2. Place bourbon in a pyrex cup and place opposite heat source, closing the lid and smoking for 20 minutes - to infuse a wood flavour into your bourbon
3. Remove bourbon from heat, cover with plastic wrap, placing in fridge to cool and infuse flavours
4. Turn the grill up to medium-high heat
5. Cut the orange into wheels and coat each slice in brown sugar
6. Place directly over the heat and cook for about 1.5 minutes per side until grill marks develop - remove from heat and set aside to cool
7. Remove bourbon from the fridge when cool - add simple syrup and bitters and stir over ice until ingredients are well chilled
8. Strain into a new glass over ice, placing an orange wheel in the glass on top
9. This will make 7 single-shot cocktails or just over 3 double cocktails
10. That's it, enjoy!
