Boogaloo’s Apple-wood smoked ice

PREPARATION

• Add apple-wood chips to a wood-fired smoker, and light the smoker.

• Fill a metal sheet cake pan (or any metal pan with a high rim) with 1 inch of filtered water.

• When the temperature of the smoker reaches 170 to 200 degrees, place the pan of water inside the smoker and close the lid. Leave the pan in the smoker for 3œ to 4 hours. Then, remove the pan and let it cool.

• Transfer the pan to the freezer. If you like, you can first transfer the smoked water to 5 ice cube trays, and then place them in the freezer. Freeze until the ice is solid, preferably overnight.

• When ready, break the cubes using a muddler or ice pick. If you’re using trays, simply separate the cubes.

• To use, add 3 smoked ice cubes to a shaker, along with your cocktail ingredients. Shake and strain into a glass. Do not use the smoked ice inside the glass.
