The Crafty Cocktail Cocktail Smoking Kit

No, the kit includes the slate base and glass cloche, but wood chips are sold separately. This allows you to select the specific wood varieties, such as hickory, apple, or cherry, that best suit your preferred flavor profile.

We recommend hand washing the glass cloche with mild soap and warm water to prevent clouding or accidental breakage. The slate base should also be wiped clean with a damp cloth rather than submerged.

While specifically designed for spirit infusion, the kit can be used to smoke small appetizers like cheeses, nuts, or olives. Ensure the items fit comfortably under the cloche and do not come into direct contact with the smoking mechanism.

The smoke infusion provides an aromatic experience that is most potent immediately after lifting the cloche. The flavor will linger in the drink for several minutes, though the intensity depends on how long you allow the smoke to sit under the glass.

You will need a culinary butane torch to ignite the wood chips effectively. A standard kitchen torch is sufficient to generate the necessary smoke to fill the cloche.
