Take a simple holiday cocktail to the next level with this at-home recipe

Wow your friends and family this holiday season with something special in their glass.

It’s easier than you think to elevate your bartending game at home with a few key ingredients and a little creativity.

Gerry Gobe from SIMPS Modern Beverage gives Toby Tannas from 103.1 Beach Mornings a lesson on how to take a classic cocktail to the next level with a little smoke.

You’ve seen it in fancy restaurants, now you can make a Smoked Old Fashioned at home.

You’ll need some Jack Daniel's woodchips that are available at most home improvement stores.

Light them up with a Brule torch or barbeque lighter.

Place your glass over top of it and let the smoke do its thing.

Add ice, your bourbon of choice and SIMPS Old Fashioned Mix. (This premix makes it so easy!)

Garnish with an orange rind and that’s it.

It’s simple, quick and has huge ‘wow’ factor.
