Smoked Manhattan Old Fashion | Culture Kitchen

Instructions

• A smoking device, whiskey
• 4 oz. Whiskey (bourbon or rye)
• 1oz. sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes of Walnut bitters
• Oak chips (follow instructions according to smoker)
• Cherry chips (follow instructions according to smoker)
• Large cube or cubes of ice (block of ice that fits into a whiskey glass)

1. Place your large ice blocks into the rock’s glasses.
2. In a separate mixing glass, combine the whiskey and sweet vermouth. Stir with separate ice for about 15–20 seconds until well-chilled.
3. Strain the mixture into your rocks glass over the large ice block.
4. Place your store-bought smoker (smoking hat or lid) directly on top of the glass.
5. Fill the smoker's chamber with wood chips. Ignite them using a torch until they begin to ember and release smoke into the glass.
6. Let the smoke sit inside the glass for 20–30 seconds to coat the surface of the drink and the ice.
7. Remove the smoker lid to allow excess smoke to dissipate and enjoy immediately while the aroma and taste are at their freshest.
