Any chance you would be interested in collaborating on your own branded smoker? We could custom brand each one and workout a commission set up for it. I’ve got a design that I currently use but would be willing to customize it to your exact specs.
I got a Smoke Top as a gift and just winged it for my first creation. I used Angostura Bitters, Peychaud's Bitters, 2 oz bourbon (1792 Small Batch), 1/2 oz Fernet Branca, 1/2 oz Licor 43, 1/2 oz sweet vermouth and a splash of Luxardo cherry syrup. The smoke works very well with all of these ingredients and I probably overdid the smoke but it still works. This turned out better than I could have imagined and I've dubbed it: Camping with the Sopranos
Here's an idea, can you try this? Put the big ice cube in the glass, then smoke the glass with ice in it (no drink yet). The ice will cool the smoke and make it sink to the bottom of the glass (theoretically).THEN pour the drink into the glass - I wonder if the smoke will infuse better that way instead of just sitting on the top. Nonetheless, that's an interesting experiment.
It’s all to taste. You could do something like this, which would be the equivalent or close to the equivalent of stirring in the smoke. Stirring in the smoke will destroy the natural tones of the bourbon. If you are someone who likes extremely peaty scotch…. Maybe that is for you though! Cheers 🍻
Love this. The Old Fashioned and Manhattan are two of my most favorite cocktails. Looking forward to possibly trying this method in the future for both.
So today was my first day as a bartender, ive been wanting to be one since i was 15. Now that im 18 i actually got a job at a bar. Made my first old fashioned and served it to a guy who has been drinking them for years and he complimented it. feelsgoodman
Real interesting, as I was looking for wood chipping engraving tip on shamu this came up. In all my 30 years in the beverage industry I have never seen or heard of this. Old fashioned old fashioned new
This is a dangerously delicious way to enjoy an old fashioned or Manhattan. I recently over indulged myself to the tune of 4 smoked old fashion cocktails at Speaks restaurant in Bradenton, Florida. The smoke, the Bourbon quality, the bitters and the fruit do a great job of fast consumption! I felt like I was getting extremely buzzed off of some type of liquid candy! Enjoy responsibly everyone.
This is the only video I've seen by you, I'm just randomly looking for a smoked cocktail recipes. Your video editing and the crispness of the video is amazing. Very unique on youtube and looks insanely professional. Oh yeah, also the cocktail looks great too!
This is one of my favourite cocktails. I have a number of faves, and we always come to love newer cocktails, but this one stays a huge love. It's classic and wonderful, when well made. Now with smoke, I can see this cocktail being spectacular! I definitely want to try this. I appreciate your review of the smoker very much. Maple wood and an OF go perfectly together! This is a must "go to" to check out, and order, and try!!
An alternative and cheaper way to do this is to swing by your local grocery, pick up a bag of wood chunks for a smoker and cut a slice off a large chunk (about the size that would cover your glass) and grab a forstner bit drill half way down and then drill a small hole through the center of that little "cup," fill with shavings of your choice of wood and light it up over your glass. It's also a great way to try this method, before you come back to help support his channel and buy the smoke top.
I would recommend doing it to the ice alone so the smoke adheres to it and meanwhile do the cocktail in a mixing glass and then pour it over the ice cube
Yes that's true, this gives a bigger smoke taste. I actually did this because sometimes I feel smoke in a drink can easily take over. But when that's what you're aiming for, a strong smoke taste, your way is the way to go 100%
You see, I never enjoyed the carafe method. It’s always too much for my taste and I always felt that the smoke, being trapped, easily starts to taste like old hashtray. I guess I don’t do it I it should be. But believe me, that little smoke top input just enough taste (to my taste) to the old fashioned. I will try to smoke my mixing glass and stir it with the smoke next time. It will probably add even more taste
This looks beautiful! I’ve been smoking glasses by inverting over charred wood or spices after firing with a torch, but I’m super curious to try this out. Thank you for sharing!!
@@elirdz Smoking the glass leaves a smokier taste vs smoking the cocktail. I usually smoke the class while mixing the cocktail. Leave the big rock in the glass when smoking, it gets a nice smoke coat on it
@@PossibleDoot what’s funny is I recently started selling these and the first customer actually had a Subaru with a paddleboard. So I was pretty close 😂
Subscribed ! Got my smoke top! You do such a good job with the satisfying Tarantino editing bro! It’s like I can taste it with you! Looking forward to Learning more cocktails and drinks from your channel!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks No worries brother! loving my old Fashioneds with my smoke top! Question, I always use Angostura Aromatic Bitters or Orange bitters, do you recommend trying other flavored bitters once in a while? Cherry? Lavendar? walnut? or just stick to the basics
If I may chip in I would like to reiterate what you said... it’s very easy to overpower your drink with a smoke element especially one thats not favourable. I did a similar process (also to an old fashioned) with a cinnamon stick and it came out a little odd. I’m gonna have to find myself some maple wood to try!
it doesn't work for everything that's for sure. But when used the right way on the right cocktail, smoking a drink can really elevate it. But it's true that it needs to be done wisely. To add too much just for the show will yield something un drinkable. Cheers!
In my honest opinion, I don't think I well ever get a smoke gun after this. It's always a struggle to use, the long hose is always filled with resin, it tastes bad and it's noizy. This is just simple, beautiful and affordable. I'm sold as you see ;)
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Got a really great deal on a house we couldn't pass on. Luckily it is only 1 mile away form where we live now. Also our TH-cam/Bar is going to look so great after i get done with it.
This is crazy man, we were just talking about a smoked old fashioned at work the other night! Awesome professional stylish video as always my man, keep up the solid work brother! 👍🏻
hi there, coming from bbq smoking, normally we do not find the white plume of smoke very tasty. you want to wait until it is almost see thru. so maybe if you could do a mini update of smoking it on the side, wait a second, then place the smoke top on the glass? the white plumey smokey stuff is very bitter and ashy
That's interesting. I have a hard time seeing how this could be done with that device though. Does it need to be continuous or we can stop the torch while we bring the smoke top on the glass after we smoke the first seconds?
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks you might need to add a bit more of the wood, but once it is lit, and the orange flame just dies out on the wood, is when it should release the good smoke Basically, “good smoke” comes out in BBQ after the fire dies down Maybe you could try the above and then smell if right away to see if it still is releasing some smokiness Or maybe the white bitter smoke could be what tastes good with whiskey haha
@@dylan-nguyen hahaha! Maybe 😉 No for real I’ll try. But I think this device is not designed to work that way. It’s actually the flame that push the smoke down. As soon as we stop the torch, the smoke also stops from being release towards the cocktail.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks What you can try is to start the wood chips in aluminum foils then after it starts to burn for a min then put it in the device and continue to burn it until more smoke goes into the glass.
That's how most bars do but that is more for the show. It aromatize the glass with smoke but not the cocktail itself. With the smoke top the liquid is in contact with more smoke and it infuse the coctail more.
Just use a propane torch and some wood chips on aluminum foil. Invert the glass over the burning chips, then make the drink. When finished, pour the drink into the glass. Works just the same and don't need to spend $50+ for the fancy top.
That's like saying why buy a pipe when you can smoke out of an apple haha part of the appeal of drinks like this is the relaxing nature so having the proper tools could almost be therapeutic
I think, as I say in the video, the fact it’s made of cherry wood adds to the performance. Glass would be neutral indeed but would probably cost much more and we wouldn’t get that extra flavour. But yeah why not
Hey! Entering a couple cocktail competitions here soon and was curious if you have any tips for taking pictures of my entries. Because we're still doing the digital thing due to covid I'm supposed to submit images of the cocktails I'm creating. I'm no photographer but want to make sure I do my cocktails justice. Curious about the best lighting techniques, background, best lense for that focal length etc... You guys always have such awesome shots of your cocktails! Thanks!
Hi Cody! That's a way too complicated matter to answer in a comment. I suggest you look at tutorials online for product photography like the ones Peter McKinnon does for example. He has some very good tips. Good luck for your entries. Cheers!
I really like to buy one for my home bar, but unfortunately shipping to Germany seems not possible.. I just ordered a cheaper "copy"... hopefully the results are as amazing as from the original!
I don't know what impressed me the most - the Smoke Top or this beautiful Old Fashioned glass 😍 I mean I'm so fascinated by it mirroring the color of the drink to the bottom of the glass! Back to the topic: How does the Smoke Top work? Does it only work with chilled glassware? Cause I mean I could explain it by physics why the smoke settles into the glass 🤔
I thought the same at first but I haven't experienced any of that potential issue. The same way I'm not concerned about that when I make a Crème brûlée.
I have difficulties infusing the smoke into the drinks. Tastes nothing like what I’ve ordered at the bars. Not sure if it’s the wood I’m using, or if there is something that I’m missing. It looks easy enough.
Both method work. They just have a different impact on the cocktail. Before will yield more taste and after will give you more aroma. I personally like the later better for the Old Fashioend but yes, before is recommended for a more intense smoke flavor. Cheers!
1:51 maybe I'm wrong, but isn't that description the exact definition of sponsored content? No judgment at all though, there's nothing wrong with sponsored content, especially for cool and exciting products that you actually believe in. 😀
so not really. I know where you are coming from, but it would be a sponsored video if they have actually paid him to show the product. Gifting someone the product is not considered sponsorship.
@@fabsconti Fair enough I suppose. I'm more familiar with how things work in the music industry, where an artist will have a sponsorship deal with a company where they are given free/subsidized gear like microphones or instruments in exchange for promoting the product, so I hadn't really thought of it as a gift. That's a good point though.
Me: I NEED this **sees shipping to my country is 45USD** Welp, back to my homemade wood piece made from a regular log 🙃 Still though, this looks amazing! I can only hope I'll have enough to buy such a thing one day

Your presentation and editing is really good. Nice mix of info and close-ups! Also, I like your jewelry.
Thank you Sophie! Appreciate a lot
Such a cool product! I love how low profile it is and simple to use. Much simpler and foolproof than using the smoking gun. Great video!
Thanks! and yes the simplicity of it makes its beauty!
An alternative and cheaper way to do this is to swing by your local grocery, pick up a bag of wood chunks for a smoker and cut a slice off a large chunk (about the size that would cover your glass) and grab a forstner bit drill half way down and then drill a small hole through the center of that little "cup," fill with shavings of your choice of wood and light it up over your glass.

Very cool! I still prefer to smoke in carafe and swirl it a bit to infuse the flavors a bit more 👍🏻 but this makes a great tool for sure
You see, I never enjoyed the carafe method. It’s always too much for my taste and I always felt that the smoke, being trapped, easily starts to taste like old hashtray. I guess I don’t do it I it should be. But believe me, that little smoke top input just enough taste (to my taste) to the old fashioned.

That's like saying why buy a pipe when you can smoke out of an apple haha part of the appeal of drinks like this is the relaxing nature so having the proper tools could almost be therapeutic
Looks amazing
Thnanks! Cheers!
what is the bourbon that you used ?
Do you think the product would be better if it were glass, potentially less taste contamination and I assume easier to clean?
I think, as I say in the video, the fact it’s made of cherry wood adds to the performance. Glass would be neutral indeed but would probably cost much more and we wouldn’t get that extra flavour. But yeah why not
I need to know where you got that bottle for the demarara
Amazing presentation dude. keep'em coming
Thank you so much! Cheers!
I apologize to my smoke detector now... I'm convinced to get one!
HAHAHA!!! Sorry for your ears too
It doesn't look like too much smoke comes out, so hopefully your smoke detector will be okay. They are so damn loud!!
Is that an echidna on your ring!?? I want one! :-)
Hey! Entering a couple cocktail competitions here soon and was curious if you have any tips for taking pictures of my entries. Because we're still doing the digital thing due to covid I'm supposed to submit images of the cocktails I'm creating. I'm no photographer but want to make sure I do my cocktails justice. Curious about the best lighting techniques, background, best lense for that focal length etc... You guys always have such awesome shots of your cocktails! Thanks!
Hi Cody! That's a way too complicated matter to answer in a comment. I suggest you look at tutorials online for product photography like the ones Peter McKinnon does for example. He has some very good tips. Good luck for your entries. Cheers!
I highlly recommed Brazilian Rosewood chips.
SOunds good!
Love the content and presentation!
I'm really curious about his mixing glass, is there a chance you would share where did you purchase it?
Thanks Janis. This one I got it at Alambika in Montreal. There’s a link to their shop in my description if you want. Cheers
I really like to buy one for my home bar, but unfortunately shipping to Germany seems not possible.. I just ordered a cheaper "copy"... hopefully the results are as amazing as from the original!
I know it sucks! I’m sure soon they will change taht
What Kind of whiskey did you use?
Bravo good sir! Love it!
Thanks man!
I used the promo code and got the discount!
I don't know what impressed me the most - the Smoke Top or this beautiful Old Fashioned glass 😍 I mean I'm so fascinated by it mirroring the color of the drink to the bottom of the glass!
Back to the topic:
How does the Smoke Top work? Does it only work with chilled glassware? Cause I mean I could explain it by physics why the smoke settles into the glass 🤔
The power of the butan torch is what pushes the smoke in the glass
Anybody know what kind of whiskey glass that is?
Where'd you get that syrup bottle. It's not in your description
That bottle is from a designer from Ontario in Canada. I don't know their shipping policies but look for studio 50 and you should find them. Cheers
What is the round glass with the square base that has the syrup in it?
It's from Studio 50 in Ontario, Canada
Nice.
Over $200 in shipping to Australia! 😂
Damn, wanted to pick one up for work so badly aha.
Damn LOL Sorry about that
Where can I get that round syrup bottle with stand and does it come with the syrup 🤔 nice video earned my sub👍
Thanks! It’s actually linked in the description under « concrete base glass bottle » I think
Great Video
Thank you!
Does smoking whiskey make your drink more acidic?
I want to try this but I'm allergic to smoke 😢
Probably even chases it down with a Bud Light 🌈
Awesome! Definitely on my wish list for Father’s Day :)
I think it will be a great gift idea this year
I'll be dropping hints all month now! 😂
Does it matter how long you keep the smoke contained in the glass?
It does. And if you smoke the ice before pouring the cocktail will also affect the result.
So how long do you recommend letting the smoke stay in the glass?
Where does one find an angled mixing glass like that?
Hey Sam, look at my referal links. It's there
I love it!! Can't wait to try it also with food. Like to smoke a pieces of meat or fish. I think it's gonna be amazing 🤗🖤
et j'ai trop hâte que tu le fasses ;)
Have you seen that one on kickstarter? Do you think its worth it to back?
I haven't
Does burning the chips over the glass accelerate the melting of the ice below or heat the glassware?
Hi Winston! Maybe a bit but I guess that's the price to pay for a smoked OF.
Are you concerned about getting butane in your cocktail from the torch?
I thought the same at first but I haven't experienced any of that potential issue. The same way I'm not concerned about that when I make a Crème brûlée.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks good point! It’s a cool product, might have to order one for myself
I didn’t even know this smoking thing existed until now. Is it just to get a smoky flavor or something?
It is a way to add smoke taste and aromas to your drinks yes
Inunciate
I have difficulties infusing the smoke into the drinks. Tastes nothing like what I’ve ordered at the bars. Not sure if it’s the wood I’m using, or if there is something that I’m missing. It looks easy enough.
I’d love to help you finding a way. So first question, what do you use to smoke your cocktails?
Top Notch
Thanks
for how long you should leave it smoking?
Up to your taste but a few seconds like 10 is plenty enough
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks ok thanks for replying
Love these smoked cocktails. We are currently using Pecan. Not a fan of Bourbon tbh. Its too sweet so we use real whisky.
Love pecan! I wonder what you call real whisky HAHA!!
Bourbon is real whisky bud lol.
You were supposed to cover the smoker with a lid to allow the alcohol to mingle with the smoke flavor for a minute or two
nice, but too mutch ice for me , i get it tje bartender trying to save money but if im home only two small ice cubes for me😅
You were very precise on your directions, but you never said how long to smoke it… I guess that is up to personal taste, but what would you suggest.
Just a few seconds will do. Cheers!
Aren’t you supposed to smoke BEFORE adding the drink?
Both method work. They just have a different impact on the cocktail. Before will yield more taste and after will give you more aroma. I personally like the later better for the Old Fashioend but yes, before is recommended for a more intense smoke flavor. Cheers!
Aren't you supposed to smoke the glass before you put the cocktail in it?
Does this turns in the smoke detector?
If you make a smoked cocktail party it might LOL
Skip ahead to 2:45 👍
1:51 maybe I'm wrong, but isn't that description the exact definition of sponsored content? No judgment at all though, there's nothing wrong with sponsored content, especially for cool and exciting products that you actually believe in. 😀
so not really. I know where you are coming from, but it would be a sponsored video if they have actually paid him to show the product. Gifting someone the product is not considered sponsorship.
@@fabsconti Fair enough I suppose. I'm more familiar with how things work in the music industry, where an artist will have a sponsorship deal with a company where they are given free/subsidized gear like microphones or instruments in exchange for promoting the product, so I hadn't really thought of it as a gift. That's a good point though.
Wonder if I can use weed instead of chips
Not gonna tell you what to do or not to 😉
Are you from Québec?
Yep
Me: I NEED this
**sees shipping to my country is 45USD**
Welp, back to my homemade wood piece made from a regular log 🙃
Still though, this looks amazing! I can only hope I'll have enough to buy such a thing one day
It's 39,84$ shipping it to Germany 😁
@@CoffeinCowboy The "pain" of wanting to buy American products when living outside of the Americas, man
So sorry guys :(
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Oh you shouldn't be! It's cool to just watch! We poor Europeans will hopefully figure out a way to get our hands on this!
🤩
U look like the bad guy in the movie "bait"
smoke your glass and ice cube while you mix the cocktail... you'll get a more intense flavor!!
That’s true. I realized it after a few tries. Tbh, I also like it with more aroma and less flavour sometimes .
Starts at minute 3:00
That was 20 not 60 revs 😏
I counted.
