4 oz chilled sparkling water or premium club soda
1 large crystal-clear rock of ice
1 dash orange bitters (optional)
Smoked rosemary sprig OR smoked cinnamon stick
Lemon or orange peel (expressed over the drink)
Smoke the Garnish:
• Hold a rosemary sprig or cinnamon stick with tongs and briefly torch it until it begins to smolder.
• Immediately place it inside the empty highball glass and cover with a coaster or another glass for 15 seconds to infuse the smoky aroma.
Build your Jackson McCrea Smoked Whiskey Highball :
• Fill the smoked glass with a large ice cube or rocks
• Pour in Jackson McCrea Rye and add 1 dash orange Angostura bitters (optional).
• Slowly top with chilled sparkling water for a crisp balance.
Finish with a Citrus Express:
• Express a lemon or orange peel over the drink, running it along the rim for a refined, fragrant touch.
• Drop the peel in and place the smoldering rosemary or cinnamon garnish on top for a final aromatic flourish.
Sip, savor, and let the smoky essence enhance every note.
