The Smoktail Vintage Cocktail Smoker Kit is a small wooden smoker you set on top of a rocks glass to infuse a drink with real wood smoke before the first sip. You load the top chamber with wood chips, hit it with a torch (torch butane sold separately), and let the smoke pour down over an old fashioned, Manhattan, or neat pour of bourbon for about a minute. The set arrives in a retro-styled wooden box and includes the smoker top and four wood chip flavors, apple, cherry, pecan, and oak, each giving a slightly different aroma. It is aimed at home bartenders and anyone who likes a bit of theater with their nightcap, and it lands as an easy gift for the whiskey drinker who already owns the bottles. Note the butane torch is not included.

- Butane for the torch is sold separately, so you cannot use it out of the box
Frequently asked questions
Does the kit come with a torch and butane?
The kit includes the smoker and wood chips. Depending on the version a torch may be included, but butane fuel is always sold separately and you will need it to light the chips.
Will the smoke actually change the taste or just the smell?
Both. A minute of smoke leaves a noticeable campfire aroma and a subtle smoky note in the drink. Longer smoking makes it stronger.
What drinks work best with it?
Brown spirits shine, so old fashioneds, Manhattans, and neat bourbon or whiskey. Some people also smoke cocktails with mezcal or a smoky note in mind.
How many times can you use the wood chips?
Each smoke uses a small pinch of chips, so the four included flavor bags last for dozens of drinks before you need a refill.
