Smoke on the Boulevard

Combine the rye, Aperol, sweet vermouth, Averna, and cherry bitters in a mixing glass filled with ice.

Stir the mixture until well chilled and properly diluted.

Strain the cocktail into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube.

Smoke the drink with cherrywood for a deep, aromatic layer.

Garnish with a twist of orange peel, expressing its oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.
