Getting Started with the Smokeshow

How to use the Smokeshow

If you're reading this, that means you're a lucky new member of the Smokeshow family!


This page is your one-stop resource for everything you need to get the most out of your Smokeshow Cocktail Smoker.


Start with the video to learn proper setup and smoking technique, then scroll down to learn more about our Smoke Dust flavors, torch, and check out some recipes from the Smokeshow Test Kitchen.

SMOKE YOUR DRINK IN A FEW SIMPLE STEPS

It only takes 30 seconds

Choosing a Smoke Dust Flavor

Apple Wood is the lightest of the 4 flavors of wood chip Smoke Dusts we have. Coming from finely milled apple trees, it pairs well with fruity cocktails, martinis, etc. Quite frankly, it is one of the easiest dusts we have to pair with all spirits, cocktails, wine, beer, etc.

Bourbon Barrel is by far the MOST popular Smoke Dust that we sell! We go through more Bourbon Barrel than any of the other flavors! This Smoke dust pairs best with bourbon cocktails to enhance the flavor of the bourbon as well as bourbon neat or on the rocks

Cherry won’t taste like a cherry since it is just derived from the wood of a cherry tree, but also pairs well on the fruity side of cocktails! Works great with all spirits, but Cherry is going to produce a slightly stronger smokier flavor than Apple.

Hickory is the strongest and smokiest flavor profile of Smoke Dust. It is for those that really want that smoky addition to their beverage! Use this with cocktails or spirits that have a big flavor profile that won’t get muted by a stronger smoke flavor.

Maple is a sweet smelling smoke that pairs with just about anything. It makes for a great old fashioned, but also goes well with things like bloody marys and margaritas. Feel free to experiment with this one, as we haven't found anything it doesn't go with yet!

Mesquite is a stronger smoke flavor that adds a deep earthy flavor to your cocktails. We love to use this on any bourbon, rum or dark liquor cocktail, but it also does well in a margarita, bloody mary, or other cocktails with tons of flavor to balance it out!

Cinnamon Smoke Dust is not ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks, but more so “pebbles” of Cinnamon. Let me tell you, it smells amazing. Cinnamon Smoke Dust goes great with bourbon neat and cocktails on the sweeter side, as well as fall sangrias and red wine.

Grapefruit Peel is great for spring and summer cocktails. Any drink that has a citrus note or even sweet notes will benefit from a bit of Grapefruit Peel's bitter smoke flavor. Try it on a Paloma or a Gin Fizz!

Lavender goes really well with light floral cocktails. We love it in just about anything with gin or vodka, and any cocktail with light citrus flavors. Try it out with a martini, vodka lemonade, or a gin and tonic!

Lemon Peel is perfect for spring and summer cocktails. It even goes great in the fall with cocktails using cranberries. Lemon Peel Smoke Dust tastes great with tequila-forward cocktails and sour cocktails. Palomas, margaritas, whiskey sours, (and so many more) are great with it!

Rosemary Smoke Dust is one of our customers’ favorites of the Herbs and Spices because it adds such an herbaceous flavor profile to the cocktails!  It pairs well with cocktails on the fruity side, and anything bitter, earthy, or herbaceous in flavor. Try it in your next Negroni!

Thyme is such an earthy and distinct flavor, that it requires a strong cocktail to go alongside it! Thyme Smoke Dust is great with citrus-forward or savory cocktails. Try it with your favorite fall cocktails, bourbon drinks, or anything with an herb-flavored simple syrup.

    Smokeshow Care & Cleaning Instructions

    After each use, brush your Smokeshow's basket with the cleaning brush to clear carbon buildup.

    When using your Smokeshow, point the torch directly into the chimney to avoid burning it.

    Your Smokeshow should not be submerged in water! To clean, wipe with a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.

    The Smokeshow is coated with a food safe mineral oil to keep it conditioned and protected from moisture. Reapply mineral oil or butcher block conditioner when it looks dry.

    Mesh Baskets should be replaced when they wear out (every 500 uses or so). Click here to purchase replacements!

    Torch Instructions

    1. Use only high quality butane

    2. Fill away from open flames or sparks

    3. Shake butane cylinder before filling

    4. Hold torch upside down and insert nozzle into filling valve for 3-5 seconds.

    5. Once full, let the torch rest for 2 minutes before using

    1. Start with the flow regulator in the center between "+" and "-"

    2. Light torch pointing away from the smoker, then point straight down into it to avoid burning the smoker itself

    3. Increase distance from Smoke Dust if torch burns itself out, or intensity if smoke does not force downward

    1. Do not use or fill torch near open flames or sparks

    2. Do not fill or touch tip of torch while hot

    3. Keep away from children

    4. Use only butane gas in this torch, and store in cool, dry place

    5. Keep torch locked when not in use

    A great way to make an Old Fashioned!

    A great way to make some great drinks! My only suggestion is to add the measuring spoon to the starter bundle. Saw it included in other bundles, and didn't realize it was not included with this one.

    Hi James! We include the measuring spoon in bundles with our cocktail syrup. For our Starter Bundle and Cocktail Smokers, we include a wooden spoon to scoop the smoke dust. If you're missing the wooden spoon, please let us know!

    The bourbon flavored chips are great, however the torch leaves a lot to be desired.

    Hi Paul, thank you for reaching out and letting us know. What issues are you experiencing with your torch? We can help troubleshoot the issue!

    Old Fashioned

    I’ve always bought another brand and never gave another company a chance,but I kept seeing the Smokeshow video advertised and thought one day,why not give it a try. Whoa, everything they said was totally true,Amazing product! I love a Bourbon old Fashioned but the other night I tried it on a White Rum old Fashioned and it was really good! I bought the Classic but can’t wait to try some others. Thanks for a Great Product!

    When an impulse buy, hits!

    I tend to drink neat, on the rocks, and as for cocktails, I often go for minimal mix ins, like a martini, ginger beer, tonic, and stick to whiskey and gin. I do love a Negroni, and other Italian cocktails. That said, I don't drink enough cocktails to bother with making my own simple syrup, or keeping bitters in my bar. So, I saw the Smokeshow Classic advertised, researched the company, loved their story, and signed up for a repeating order every 3 months. The product is great! Like it more dry? Use less than a 1/4 tsp. Like it sweeter, use more. It has a long shelf life, and I am all of a sudden drinking a few more cocktails than I used to. Plus, I am now eating more oranges! You have to garnish with a peel! I might need to change my order to every 2 months, and will certainly try the other flavors! I say gor for it!

    Delightfully Surprised

    I had received several lead offers from Smokeshow but was loyal to a couple other mixes. I decided to order the Original and Maple Bacon. I made Old Fashions for a group of friends and they were very happy with the drink. The small amount of syrup to bourbon produced a very smooth and delicious drink. I am very glad I took a chance and now have a new go-to for mixes. The price point on sale is very close to other mixes but the ratio is much better with this syrup. Thank you!

    First time user

    All I can say is WoW! I got this originally as a gift for a friend who loves old fashions and decided to get a few extra and give them a try. Hard to believe what I've been missing all these years. I cannot wait to try the other flavors plus shipping time was fast, and product packaged very well. I will definitely be using them regularly for gifts and myself (of course).

    Pleasant Surprise

    I decided to give this product a try because I'm an Old Fashion fan. I'm very impressed with the quality of the syrup and the taste. It has a very pronounced flavor that complimented my rye whiskey nicely. I will definitely buy this product again and will tell my friends about it.

    We don't fill it completely full. Just shy of the top is enough for our perfect Old Fashion.
