Earlier this year, I was perusing a book on old style cocktails from very high end establishments around the world. I came across this smoked old fashioned and decided to try it. With a few adjustments, I found something that has never failed to impress and delight friends and acquaintances. Now, I want to share it with you so you can share it with your friends!

Notes
I made the brown sugar cubes from dark brown sugar and my teaspoon measuring spoon. I tapped them out onto a baking sheet and let the sugar dry for 2 - 3 days in a cold oven. Once dry, they can be bagged in a zip top bag or snap lid container.
