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.
