How To Make The Improved "Smoke Bomb"

How To Make The Improved "Smoke Bomb"


My original Smoke Bomb video is one my most popular, but it involved a very clumsy method of getting smoke into a hollow ice ball shell. This improved method uses the Smoking Gun, which is significantly easier. 



SMOKED MAPLE OLD FASHIONED

  • 2 oz (60ml) Campfire whiskey
  • 2 dashes Old Fashion (or Angostura) bitters
  • 1 barspoon of maple syrup
  • Pinch of applewood chips
  • Maraschino cherry on a pick
  • Hollow ice ball shell (see video for instructions)
  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass 
  2. Add ice and stir for 45 seconds
  3. Add applewood chips to Smoking Gun
  4. Place hollow ice ball into a rocks glass 
  5. Ignite Smoking Gun and fill ice ball with smoke
  6. Cap ice ball with maraschino cherry on a pick
  7. Strain cocktail into the rocks glass
  8. Smash open smoke-filled ice ball with hammer and enjoy
