Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • ½ oz real maple syrup (Grade A or darker)
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 1 dash orange bitters (optional but recommended)
  • orange peel
  • ice cube

To Finish (Smoke Options)

  • Smoking gun with oak or applewood chips
  • A small piece of hardwood (oak/apple) for a quick burn to smoke-rinse the glass
  • Flame the orange peel for a lighter, citrus-led smoke effect

Instructions
 

  • Add the whiskey, maple syrup, and bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice.
  • Stir until thoroughly chilled and properly diluted (about 20–25 seconds).
  • Strain into a rocks glass over one large cube.
  • Express the orange peel over the surface, then drop it in.
  • Add smoke: use a smoking gun, or briefly cover the drink with a glass dome over smoldering wood; alternatively, flame the citrus peel for a quick hit of aroma.
  • Serve immediately while the smoke remains aromatic.
