All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Chill an 8-ounce cocktail glass in your fridge for 10 minutes before starting this recipe. Then prepare your bar by laying a plank of smokable cherry wood on a safe work surface.
Take a juicy large orange and give it a quick rinse. Pat it as dry as possible and use a sharp peeler to peel a sizable ribbon of the orange's peel.
Remove the glass from your fridge.
Strike a match then carefully set fire to the top side of the cherry wood plank.
Wait for the fire to get going a little. Cover the fire with the glass, rim side down.
Once the fire dies down, very quickly lift one side of the glass up and place the orange peel and 1 sugar cube under the glass. Prevent as much smoke from escaping as possible.
Leave the glass to smoke for around 5 minutes.
Lift the glass, twirling it as you lift it to help the smoke evaporate.
Now prepare the drink itself by adding an ice cube directly to the glass.
Pour the whiskey and Angostura bitters over the ice. Crumble the sugar cube into the glass and give the contents of the glass a good stir with a spoon or stirrer.
Garnish the cocktail with the smoke orange peel and enjoy!
