Preparation
Prepare Hickory Smoke
Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and place them in a smoker box or wrap them in aluminum foil, poking holes in the foil to allow smoke to escape. Preheat your grill or smoker to a medium-high heat.
Prepare the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Ancient Age Bourbon, Angostura Bitters, and fresh orange juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
Garnishing
Garnish with Orange Peel
Twist the orange peel over the cocktail to release its oils, then place it on the rim of the glass as a garnish.
