Smoked Honey Sage Bourbon Cocktail

Table of Contents

Welcome 2023! I hope everyone is off to a great start to the new year. Don’t worry if you already broke that resolution, life is too sho

This month, I wanted to focus on flavors and simple syrups. Each cocktail for the month is not only easy to make, but also a flavor explosion! This week, enjoy a Honey Sage Bourbon Cocktail smoked with Bourbon Barrel Smoke Dust. 

Simple syrups are just like they sound…simple! If you have never made a simple syrup before, it is typically a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar (or sugar substitute) and another flavor profile such as a fruit, spice, or herb.

To make sure this cocktail is not overly sweet, we made the simple syrup with honey instead of sugar so that this becomes a more savory cocktail instead of sweet. The sage leaves will add the herbaceous flavor and will go perfectly with a big ol’ ribeye steak!

Finally, we twisted the orange peel over the drink to express the juices and then we lit the flying juices on fire- this happens very quickly so watch a few videos on how to do this before trying!
