Ingredients
- 1½ oz bourbon
- 1 oz Campari
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- Ice for stirring and 1 large cube for serving
- 1 strip of orange peel
- A small pinch of your chosen wood chips
Make the cocktail
- Stir the bourbon, Campari and vermouth with ice until cold.
- Strain into a stable rocks glass over the large cube.
- Rest the disc securely on the rim and place the barrel horizontally on top. Remove its upper half and spread the chips over the screen.
- Light the chips with the butane torch, then remove the flame once they smoulder. Let the smoke collect for about 30 seconds.
- Lift the smoker. Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then add it to the glass.
