How do I best infuse smoke into cocktails?

  1. Prepare your cocktail in a glass.
  2. Place the Cocktail Chimney securely over the rim.
  3. Add a small pinch of wood shavings into the chamber.
  4. Light the shavings briefly with the torch until they begin to smolder.
  5. Allow the smoke to fill the glass for a few seconds.
  6. Remove the chimney and serve immediately for a refined, aromatic finish.

For a deeper profile, let the smoke rest slightly longer before serving.

Can these wood shavings be used for food preparation?

Yes. These premium wood shavings are ideal for enhancing foods such as cheese, charcuterie, salmon, meats, and even desserts. Simply cover the food with the chimney and infuse lightly to add a rich, aromatic depth without cooking the ingredients.

How should I store the wood shavings to maintain freshness?

Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keeping them airtight preserves their natural aroma and ensures consistent, high-quality smoke.

What is the shelf life of the wood shavings?

When stored properly, the wood shavings maintain optimal quality for up to 12–24 months. Over time, the aroma may gradually soften, but they will remain safe and effective to use.
