How to Smoke a Cocktail

There’s flavor, and then there’s atmosphere. Smoked cocktails bring both. Whether it’s the swirl of aromatic haze or the unexpected depth it adds to your favorite spirits, smoking a cocktail isn’t just a trick—it’s a transformation.

This guide walks you through how to use the Viski Smoked Cocktail Dome to turn a simple pour into a multi-sensory masterpiece.

Why Smoke a Cocktail?

Smoke doesn’t just look cool (although it absolutely does). It enhances the overall drinking experience by:

  • Adding Depth: Woods like cherry or hickory impart subtle earthy, sweet, or spicy notes.

  • Activating Aroma: Smell is a huge part of taste. A smoky scent primes your palate before the first sip.

  • Creating a Moment: There’s something theatrical about unveiling a smoked drink—it demands attention and signals that this is no ordinary cocktail.

What You'll Need

How to Use it

Pro tips

Pair the wood to the spirit:

  • Cherry – Slightly sweet, great with bourbon
  • Oak – Bold and earthy, perfect for rye
  • Hickory – Stronger, ideal for tequila or mezcal

Chill your glass first for more dramatic smoke retention. Add a citrus peel or herb garnish after smoking for a bright contrast.

With just one tool, you turn a regular pour into a signature cocktail. It’s not just drinking—it’s storytelling.
