The trend of smoking cocktails in bars is gaining popularity across America, offering a sophisticated experience in hospitality. Now, crafty dads and adult drinks enthusiasts can recreate this trend at home with the introduction of at-home cocktail smoking kits by Tequila Komos, a high-end brand in the agave-spirit market.
Tequila Komos, known for its top-shelf Komos Extra Anejo, has launched these smoking kits, which are available with the purchase of their acclaimed tequila. Ria Soler, the education director for Tequila Komos, described it as the “world’s best tequila for the world’s best dads.”
The kits allow amateur mixologists to bring the showy trend of smoked cocktails from fancy cocktail bars into their own homes. By infusing cocktails with smoke using wood chips or even cigar tobacco, additional aromas and flavors are added to the drinks, creating a unique and complex experience.
At some of the world’s best bars and restaurants, smoked tequila or cocktails like Manhattans and old-fashioneds are served, offering an elevated and luxurious experience. Soler expressed that this experience is not typically something that people can recreate at home, so Tequila Komos wanted to provide that opportunity to cocktail enthusiasts.
The smoking kits from Tequila Komos come with pecan chips, a torch-style lighter, and a cylinder that fits over a rocks tumbler. When the pecan chips are lit, they infuse the drink with a smoky aroma and flavor, enhancing the rich and nutty notes of the Komos Extra Anejo tequila.
The swirling smoke in the glass adds a touch of showmanship, reminiscent of trendy cocktail bars. By following a simple recipe like the Tequila Komos Smoked Manhattan, cocktail lovers can enjoy a luxurious and flavorful drink at home.
Overall, the availability of these smoking kits allows individuals to bring a popular bar trend into their own living spaces, creating a unique and sophisticated cocktail experience without having to visit a high-end bar. This innovation by Tequila Komos caters to the growing interest in craft cocktails and mixology, providing a new way for enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite drinks in the comfort of their homes.
