COCKTAIL OF THE DAY… DAY 5
"Making a proper cocktail is an art"
As the weekend comes to end..,we should savor what is left of it. Sunday night is time to relax and chill with a beautifully crafted cocktail. Maybe a time for reflection or just to clear our minds for the week to come…
I have been having so much with "these Steemit Cocktails of the Day… And today's cocktail could easily be one of the best yet… Ladies -- Gentlemen -- STEEMIANS… I bring you… THE STEEMED
THE STEEMED…
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Four Roses Bourbon
- 1 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz Grade B maple syrup
- 2-3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
- Smoked glass
- Handful cedar chips
- 4-5 Cloves
- Spiral orange zest
Preparation:
- Place cedar chips on something that won't burn down the house!!! (iron skillet will do)
- Rub the cloves into the cedar, really well, really well
- With a torch or lighter light the cedar chips on fire and let them catch
- Blow out and place your tumbler glass over the smoke (the glass will fill with smoke). leave it
- In a mixing glass (pint glass) add your: Bourbon, Lemon Juice, Maple Syrup, Bitters
- Fill mixing glass almost to top with ice - Shake. Shake it to Break it
- Pick-up your tumbler glass and gently turn right side up (it should be filled with smoke
- Gently add fresh ice to tumbler filled with smoke
- Gently pour contents of mixing glass into tumbler -- SLOWLY
- The smoke will start to dissipate and rise (very cool)
- Garnish with spiral orange zest
Notes:
- When working with smoke and fire… I feel, like I must say.., BE CAREFUL. Don't burn the place down, please!
- Besides the smokey taste that is added to this cocktail… It adds such an amazing aroma, that you can sense, as you raise the glass to your lips, which just adds a whole new dimension to the experience of this well crafted cocktail.
You have just made one of the finest whisky cocktails you will ever taste... And if I do say so myself, it's steeming -- THE STEEMED... Enjoy.., you deserve it!
For tomorrows cocktail we are going to venture into deeper waters and go where no man has gone before with the cocktail for another Steemian, we know for his killer novel -- The Alarm Clock Dawn!
And don't forget to stop back tomorrow for more...
'Looking forward to trying this. Very creative!
Approves
Thanks @fingolfin... The Tom Cruise stamp of approval :))
Nice to see someone doing well with cocktail / drink recipes .... I tried and wanted to do what you are doing, but in mine I added quite a bit more into the post, starting with an intro leading into the drink.
I love doing the photography part of drinks, it fascinates me. If anyone is interested in checking out the "fat like buddha" drink you can see that post here, which was a huge bust. Not looking for upvotes, but its was a good post and a great drink to check out!
Great work on capturing an audience on this topic macksby!
Cheers @fat-like-buddha (i love that name btw)... I'll check it out.
The Steemed sounds like a great cocktail for Fall. The smoked glass adds a very creative touch. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what you come up with tomorrow!
Hey @ericvancewalton -- Yeah, you get some smokiness, some cedar and some cloves. The aroma is ridiculous... Me to... Im a nervous wreck! :))
Oh, don't be nervous just let your creativity flow! ✌️
Got those creative juices flowing last night at a bar, where I used to be head bartender on 54th and B'way... I think you'll be pleased :))

Yes... All recipes are original and ones that I created specifically for Steemit... I have been bartending for over 20 years and have created whole cocktail lists for bars and restaurants all over NYC. The picture of the glass being smoked was sourced in order to make the directions a little easier to follow.. Will definitely reference the source if I use an image to demonstrate technique. But, YES -- all recipes are very original. Thanks for your concern.
Ok glad to hear that, you can just reference by putting a small note of Image Credit with a ref link
Hi when i use to work for Factory The hacienda they had a cocktail I have not seen since called death in the afternoon, you use to get this in the gay traitor bar inside the club, it was a champagne with pernod but would have the chapagne at the bottom supporting the other ingredients sometimes I just wish for one again.
