Smoked cocktails are a celebration of smell, taste and sight. They’re dramatic, rich and deeply flavorful, making them a fantastic pick for holidays, special occasions, and weekend nights.

Freshly-brewed coffee, homemade simple syrup and a kiss of real smoke flavor imbue the drink with bittersweet complexity, while the neutrality of vodka coffee lets you adjust the recipe to your liking. Add more sweetness to create a dessert-like drink, or make it more of an aperitivo by leaning into the cocktail’s bitter coffee notes.

This recipe was created by our partner, Lauren Nagle. Lauren made the cocktail using our Marshal Centerbox Smoker, but you can make it on your smoker.
