Place the whiskey smoker lid on top of the drink. 2. Add a small pinch of wood chips into the smoker (don’t overfill). 3. Use the torch to ignite the chips until they produce dense smoke. 4. Let smoke fill the glass. 5. Cover it fully with the smoker lid/topper. 6. Let the drink rest under the smoke for 1–3 minutes. The longer it sits, the deeper the smoke flavor. FOR A REFRESHING MOCKTAIL

Replace the bourbon with a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative such as Spiritless Kentucky 74, Lyre’s American Malt, or Ritual Whiskey Alternative.
