With each sip of the Smoke & Spice Symphony, you're transported to an old Southern barbecue joint where tradition reigns supreme. This cocktail harmonizes perfectly with smoky ribs and grilled corn, its complex layers mirroring the robust flavors of American BBQ cuisine. The Old Fashioned Bitters provide a sharp contrast to the sweet peach liqueur and mint-infused syrup, while the bittersweet chocolate cocoa syrup adds depth and warmth—a true testament to my no-nonsense approach where every ingredient has its place. Don't just drink this cocktail; experience it.

Ingredients

  • 2 dashes Old Fashioned Bitters
  • 1.5 oz Smoked Mint Simple Syrup
  • 1 oz Peach Liqueur (such as Southern Comfort)
  • 0.75 oz Lemon Juice
  • 2 oz Smoke-infused Bourbon (custom blend)
  • 0.5 oz Bittersweet Chocolate Cocoa Syrup

Instructions

  • Combine Smoked Mint Simple Syrup, Peach Liqueur, Lemon Juice, and Old Fashioned Bitters in a shaker with ice.
  • Shake vigorously until well chilled.
  • Double strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
  • Top off with Smoke-infused Bourbon. Garnish with a mint sprig for added smoke essence.
