Notes
Let the drink sit for 1-2 minutes to let some of that smoked ice begin to melt and integrate into your drink. Some will add a dash of club soda or water to an Old Fashioned, BUT it's not needed here because of that smoked ice. It will slowly melt and add incredible smoky flavor to your drink.
