Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 2 tsp Cardamom simple syrup (or plain simple syrup)
- 4 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1/2 tsp ghee ((a dollop))
- Orange peel twist
- ice
Instructions
- Add bourbon to a whiskey glass. Add simple syrup and Angostura bitters. Stir to combine.
- Prepare a charcoal by heating on a stove or over half of a wax starter square. (Take fire safety precautions, and do this in a very well-ventilated room or outside). When the charcoal is grayish-white on one side, turn it over and do the same to the other side.
- Move the charcoal to a bowl or tray in a heat-safe vessel that can be fully closed. Top the charcoal with a dollop of ghee. Set the glass near the charcoal (not touching), and cover. Allow to sit and smoke for up to 2 minutes.
- Remove the drink from the smoke. Dispose of charcoal by immersing it in water or another fire-safe method of extinguishing.
- Add a twist of orange peel and ice.
