The Campfire

Use the specified component styles before mixing. Required component: Brown Sugar Simple syrup (Made with lapsang souchong tea. Recipe in notes*).

Chill your Cognac Glass in advance.

Combine the Japanese whisky, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and Lapsang Souchong tea-infused brown sugar syrup in a shaker filled with ice.

Shake vigorously until well chilled.

Double strain the mixture into the prepared Cognac Glass.

Using a Smoking Gun loaded with almond wood shavings, introduce smoke directly into the glass.

Cover the glass with a wooden coaster to trap the smoke inside.

Gently swirl the glass and allow the smoke to infuse for about ten seconds.

Remove the coaster in front of your guest for a dramatic reveal.
