Smoking a cocktail transforms a drink into an experience. The smoke infuses subtle layers of flavor, adds aromatic depth, and creates a striking visual presentation.

By pairing different woods such as black walnut, cherry, sugar maple, or white oak, each cocktail takes on a unique character, from rich and earthy to soft and fruity. Beyond taste, the swirl of smoke engages the senses, turning an ordinary glass into a moment of theatre.

At Helius Originals, we see smoking not just as technique but as ritual, one that elevates cocktails into multi-sensory journeys.

Creating Aromatics: The smoke generated during the process releases aromatic compounds that stimulate the senses and contribute to the overall drinking experience. The combination of smoky scents and the cocktail's ingredients can create a harmonious aroma that enhances the enjoyment of the drink.

Visual Appeal: Smoking a cocktail adds an element of visual appeal and theatrics to your drink presentation. The swirling smoke, wisps of fog, or smoldering herbs can captivate the eye and make your cocktail stand out, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or when you want to impress your guests.

Customization and Creativity: Smoking a cocktail allows for endless possibilities and experimentation. You can choose different types of wood, herbs, or other ingredients to create unique flavors and aromas. It offers an opportunity to unleash your creativity and customize your drink according to your preferences.

Sensory Experience: Smoking a cocktail engages multiple senses, making it a truly immersive experience. The aroma, visual display, and enhanced flavors combine to create a multisensory journey that enhances your enjoyment and appreciation of the drink.

It's important to note that smoking cocktails should be done responsibly and in moderation. The purpose is to enhance the drink and create a memorable experience, not to overpower or mask the flavors. It's recommended to experiment with different smoking techniques, ingredients, and durations to achieve the desired balance and effect.

If you're interested in trying a smoked cocktail, we offer a range of products and accessories that can help you get started. From smoking kits to wood chips or handheld smokers, our selection can elevate your mixology game and add a touch of intrigue to your cocktails.

For safety and compliance with international shipping regulations, our kits do not include butane.

Our torches are compatible with standard culinary-grade butane, which is widely available at retailers worldwide. For the best performance, we recommend using high-quality butane from trusted brands to ensure a clean, consistent flame.

Butane is widely available at smoke shops, hardware stores, and many large retailers. It can also be purchased easily online.

Sustainability is central to our design philosophy, and we are committed to reducing waste wherever possible. While not every component can be 100% sustainable, such as our torches, we prioritize eco-conscious practices across our collections.

Our wood boards are crafted from reclaimed Canadian lumber, and the offcuts are transformed into fine wood shavings for our smoked cocktail kits, creating a circular, zero-waste process. In addition, our smoking toppers are made from FSC-certified wood, ensuring responsible sourcing.

We continue to explore new ways to expand our use of reclaimed and recyclable materials while maintaining the quality and elegance that define Helius Originals.
