Method
Cocktail Preparation
Mix the Cocktail
In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Woodford Double Oaked Bourbon and 1 oz of Carpano Antica Vermouth. Add 2 dashes of barrel-aged bitters to the mixture.
Stir the Mixture
Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute slightly.
Infuse with Smoke
Take a chilled cocktail glass and place it over the smoke source to infuse it with hardwood smoke. Let it sit for about 15 seconds to absorb the smoke flavor.
Strain the Cocktail
Remove the cocktail glass from the smoke and strain the bourbon and vermouth mixture into the smoked glass.
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a single cocktail cherry placed on a cocktail pick or directly in the glass.
