Hair of the Dog Cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 oz whiskey (bourbon or rye works well)
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 0.5 oz cinnamon syrup (recipe below)
  • Dash of bitters (optional, for extra depth)
  • Smoked wood chips (applewood or hickory work well)
  • Orange peel and cinnamon stick, for garnish

Cinnamon Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  1. Make the Cinnamon Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and cool. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Place wood chips in our heatproof smoker dish and carefully ignite them with a torch or lighter until they start to smoke. Cover the dish with an empty rocks glass, allowing it to fill with smoke for about 30 seconds.

  2. Mix the Drink: In a shaker, combine whiskey, orange juice, cinnamon syrup, and a dash of bitters if desired. Add ice and shake well.

  3. Serve: Strain the cocktail into the smoked rocks glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and a cinnamon stick.

  4. Enjoy: Sip and savor the warmth and smoky aroma of the Hair of the Dog cocktail.
