This cocktail smoker kit gives a home bar the bar-style smoked old fashioned without a smoking gun. You set the wood-topped smoker over a glass, add a pinch of the included wood chips, and light them with the torch so the drink fills with aromatic smoke for about ten seconds before you sip. The kit comes with six wood chip flavors such as oak, cherry, apple, and hickory, so you can match the smoke to bourbon, whiskey, or a smoked cheese plate. The torch is refillable but ships without butane for safe shipping. Everything packs into a gift box, which is why this lands on a lot of gift lists for the cocktail person who has the spirits but not the toys. Best for home mixologists and anyone who wants a five-second wow moment when guests are over.

Frequently asked questions

Does the kit include butane for the torch?

No. The torch is refillable but ships empty because butane cannot be shipped safely. You will need to buy a standard butane refill, sold at most hardware and tobacco shops, before the first use.

What wood flavors are included?

It comes with six wood chip flavors, typically a mix such as oak, cherry, apple, and hickory, so you can pair lighter or stronger smoke with different spirits and foods.

How long does it take to smoke a drink?

About ten seconds. You light the chips with the torch, let the smoke build under the topper over your glass, then lift it and sip. You can smoke longer for a stronger flavor.

Can I use it for food, not just cocktails?

Yes. People use these kits to smoke cheese, cured meats, nuts, and even salads, in addition to bourbon and whiskey cocktails.

Is it hard to clean?

The metal mesh and smoker top wipe clean after the chips burn down. Let everything cool fully first, then brush out the ash and wipe with a dry cloth.
