Fall is the season of bold flavors, cozy gatherings, and elevated drinks. Smoked cocktails are trending everywhere right now, with classic recipes like the Zombie Cocktail, Aviation Cocktail, and Toronto Cocktail making a comeback. Adding a touch of smoke transforms these timeless drinks into showstopping experiences, perfect for a dinner party, a weekend indulgence, or impressing guests at your home bar.

That is why we created the Helius Originals Fall Smoked Cocktail Recipe Book, a free digital guide with seven refined recipes inspired by seasonal ingredients and cocktail trends.

Zombie Cocktail (Smoked Edition)

The Zombie Cocktail is a tiki classic that is rich, fruity, and powerful. Our smoked version layers light, dark, and overproof rum with citrus and spice, then finishes with cherry wood smoke that adds depth without overpowering the tropical flavors.

French Cassis Fizz

Crème de cassis has become one of the most searched cocktail ingredients this year, and for good reason. This sparkling cocktail combines cassis, lemon, and soda water into a light, refreshing drink, enhanced with cherry or sugar maple smoke for balance.

Aviation Cocktail

The Aviation Cocktail is trending worldwide with searches up over 300 percent. Floral and citrus notes from gin, crème de violette, and lemon are lifted with a subtle sugar maple smoke. The result is elegant, slightly nostalgic, and perfect for fall evenings.

Blackcurrant Sour

Blackcurrant cocktails are seeing major growth in popularity. Our smoked sour balances tart blackcurrant syrup with gin or vodka, fresh lemon juice, and a foamy egg white top. A white oak smoke brings warmth and richness to the finish.

Smoked Manhattan with Maple Twist

The Manhattan Cocktail is timeless, and smoked variations are trending this year. Our fall-inspired version blends rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters with a touch of maple syrup. Finished with sugar maple smoke, it delivers a warm, smooth flavor that is both classic and seasona

Toronto Cocktail

The Toronto Cocktail is a hidden gem in the world of classics, made with rye whiskey, Fernet-Branca, and bitters. Our version leans into its Canadian roots with a touch of maple syrup and maple wood smoke for a smooth, distinctly autumn character.

Pink Squirrel Martini

Vintage cocktails are back, and none is more charming than the Pink Squirrel Cocktail. Traditionally made with crème de noyaux, crème de cacao, and cream, we have given it a luxurious finish with a hint of black walnut smoke, making it a dessert-worthy indulgence.

Apple Cider Old Fashioned

Nothing says fall like apple cider. Our smoked twist on the Old Fashioned blends bourbon, apple cider, and bitters, finished with an apple slice garnish and cozy maple wood smoke that evokes crisp autumn nights.

Smoked cocktails are more than a passing fad. They create a multi-sensory experience where aroma, flavor, and presentation come together.
