I bought a smoke infuser and I've been experimenting with making smoked old fashioned.
I'm currently doing my mixes based on Applewood smoke with an apple cider simple syrup and Angostura bitters. It's tasty and even the wife likes it.
Most old fashioned recipes are kinda citrusy though, so I'm not sure how I'd want to tweak the smoke and syrup if I wanted to accommodate that. Most of my early experiments were absolute failures. The balance was way off and the bitters tasted kinda weird with the citrus added in.
