Today I'm making 3 tasty, smoky drinks! When the cold wind blows with the scent of burnt firewood, I crave a smoky cocktail - or three. There's a number of ways to add smoke, and the flavor can be dominant or complimentary. Here are three examples of how you can incorporate smoke in your drinks at home. Hope you enjoy them, and they keep you warm. Cheers, everyone!
