HomeWetBar Cocktail Infusion Kit and Whiskey Smoker

Neutral spirits like vodka, white rum, or blanco tequila are the best starting points because they readily absorb the flavors of the botanicals. If you prefer whiskey or bourbon, choose a mid-range bottle; the infusion process will enhance the spirit rather than mask its base quality.

The smoker is designed to work with standard culinary wood chips or sawdust, such as oak, hickory, or cherry. Ensure you use food-grade wood chips that are free of chemicals or accelerants to maintain the integrity of your drink's flavor.

Infusion times vary based on the ingredients and your desired flavor intensity. Most botanicals require anywhere from 24 hours to a week, so we recommend tasting your spirit daily after the first 24 hours to determine when it reaches your preferred profile.

To preserve the finish of the wood components and the integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing all parts with mild soap and warm water. Avoid soaking the wooden pieces, as this can cause warping or cracking over time.

Absolutely. While the smoker is marketed for whiskey, it works beautifully with any spirit or cocktail that benefits from a smoky profile, such as mezcal, tequila, or even a smoked maple syrup for non-alcoholic drinks.

The kit includes the essential tools for infusion and smoking, but it does not come with pre-packaged botanicals or wood chips. This allows you the creative freedom to source your own fresh herbs, dried fruits, and spices to customize your flavor profiles.
