Haven't posted here in years, still using my Traeger pellet pooper at least once a week, 6-10 times a month, year around.
For a number of reasons, my current go to beverage is an old fashioned. Between no more soda (I know, the sugar in the syrup is the same), intermittent fasting (only eating/drinking from 10am to 6 pm) and good selection of bourbons and ryes, been stuck on them.
I have gotten down recipes for most bourbons and variations of bitters, but have just been using home made 2:1 simple syrup.
What is that on my smoker? A pan of ice?
shoot, it didn't remain ice, all I have left is water
has a nice smoky smell and color!
add same amount (1:1) raw granulated sugar (I didn't spring for the demerara or turbinado sugar, but might next time)
And can add smoke simple syrup to my lineup! I also did some with brown sugar, bleached processed sugar (clear, for some things that end up clear), and orange infused.
next up, actual smokey ice cubes, if I can get clarity up a bit without a $50 contraption
All in the quest for the best of this (and this isn't the best combo, but not bad):
