The Swamp Bite
Escape the ordinary and wade into the intriguing depths of the Florida swamplands, where the air is thick with mystery and gators keep watch, with The Swamp Bite! This custom Smoked Old Fashioned is your passport to the vibrant energy and distinct flavors of Florida, delivering a true taste of "The Sunshine State".
We've crafted this drink to capture that authentic Florida spirit. At its core is Florida Straight Bourbon from the St. Augustine Distillery. This bourbon is carefully handcrafted and aged a minimum of three years in their small batch distillery. It's made from a unique mash bill featuring 60% Florida corn, 22% barley, and 18% Florida wheat, with grains ground on-site and the spirit distilled in a pot still. The sources describe this classic Florida bourbon with a complex flavor profile, including notes of toffee, cinnamon marshmallow, leather, stone fruit, vanilla, dark cocoa, hints of tobacco, caramel, brazil nut, chocolate, and baking spices, finishing sweet, smooth, and creamy. It's noted as being great in an Old Fashioned.
To infuse it with the unique tastes of the state, we use a custom simple syrup. Our custom B&B simple syrup uses real Florida Oranges, Real Coconuts, and Cloves!
The true essence of the "State of Mind" comes alive through the smoking process depicted in the image, where Cypress wood chips are used to add an intriguing aromatic layer. This smoky kiss enhances the depth of flavor, like a humid Florida evening.
Finally, we top it off with a refreshing garnish – a Fresh Orange slice, completing the visual and aromatic journey to the Sunshine State. The Swamp Bite is a drink designed to excite your senses and transport you to the heart of Florida. Dive in and experience this uniquely crafted taste of the Sunshine State!
The Georgia Peach
Get ready for a taste of the country with The Georgia Peach! This custom Smoked Old Fashioned invites you out to a sun-drenched Georgia Peach Farm, where the air is sweet and the flavors are true. We've crafted this drink to capture that authentic, juicy peach experience.
At its heart is Jim Beam Peach Bourbon, bringing a smooth, bourbon base infused with bright, sweet peach notes right from the bottle. To intensify that farm-fresh flavor, we've used a Simple Syrup made with succulent Reach Peaches, layering in even more natural peach goodness.
But the real touch of country magic comes from the smoke. We gently smoke this Old Fashioned using Peach Wood Chips. As the smoke swirls, it imparts a delicate, fruity, and slightly sweet aroma and flavor that perfectly complements the peach bourbon and syrup, transporting you straight to an orchard campfire under a starry sky.
It's a drink designed not just to be tasted, but to be an experience – a sip of Georgia sunshine in a glass. Dive into The Georgia Peach and discover the simple pleasure of country flavors done right. Maybe you'll even be inspired to whip up this delicious, smoked delight yourself once you've gotten your hands on the Roadmap Recipe Book!
The Big Apple
Get ready to take a bite out of the city that never sleeps with The Big Apple! This is more than just a cocktail; it's your custom drink ticket straight to the vibrant energy and iconic flavors of New York.
We've crafted this drink to capture the true taste of "The Big Apple" experience. At its core is Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The specific bottle featured in the image is a "Special Reserve Single Barrel Limited Edition". According to the sources, Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey is legendary apple wood smoked, carefully handcrafted and aged to perfection in their small batch distillery in Fairport, NY. It is described as smooth tasting with a whisper of sweet apple wood smoke, a distinct character derived from the apple smoke and grains, which Jim Murray noted contains tannins that link with the grains to form a bourbony undertone. This inherent apple wood smoke in the bourbon itself forms a flavorful base for the drink.
The theme of apples is central to this drink, evident in its name and the fresh apples pictured alongside it, complementing the apple wood smoke notes from the bourbon. We’ve also created a simple syrup that goes right along with the stroll down Broadway with apples, cinnamon and all spice berries.
The metropolitan magic is truly unlocked through the smoking process depicted in the image, where wood chips are used to add an intriguing aromatic layer. This smoking process layered on top of the bourbon's natural apple wood smoke creates a complex and inviting aroma and flavor profile.
Island Smoke Signal
Escape the everyday chill and feel the island rhythm pulse through you with The Mango Habanero! This is your vibrant ticket to "The Islands," delivering a true taste of tropical sweetness kissed with Caribbean heat.
We've crafted this drink to transport you straight to a sun-drenched beach. At its heart is Ole Smoky Mango Habanero Whiskey to add "a little sizzle with your sweetness," with creativity at its core. It features the sweet taste of mango flavor complemented by a spicy habanero pepper finish.
To amplify those island flavors, we add a dash of custom-made simple syrup with fresh mangos, habaneros, honey and cloves and muddle up some fresh mangos to mix in.
The taste of the islands is further enhanced by a unique smoky element pairing it with Pear Wood Chips. This smoky layer adds an intriguing aroma and depth that evokes the feeling of an island bonfire at dusk.
Finally, this cocktail gets a bold finish and garnish. The rim of the glass is coated with Tajin Classico Seasoning, a unique blend of 100% natural chili peppers, lime, and sea salt. This spicy, tangy rim perfectly complements the sweet and hot notes within the drink. The garnish includes a Fresh Mango slice twist and fresh habanero, completing the vibrant visual and aromatic experience that speaks of "The Islands."
The Mango Habanero or as we like to call it, The Island Smoke Signal… It’s a crafted drink to ignite your senses and transport you to a Caribbean paradise. Dive in and experience this uniquely crafted taste of The Islands!
The Memphis Bacon Blues
Get ready to hit the high notes and savor the low-and-slow flavors of the South with The Bacon Blues! The next stop on the tour is your ticket straight to the BBQ smoke-filled sounds and taste of Memphis, Tennessee.
We've crafted this drink to capture the soulful essence of Memphis. At its core is Rattlesnake Rosie's Maple Bacon Whiskey, produced by Iron Smoke Distillery. This is Iron Smoke’s very own artisan crafted bourbon whiskey blended with maple syrup and natural flavors. This unique spirit provides a sweet, smoky, and savory foundation for the drink.
To layer in that unmistakable Memphis BBQ flavor, we add a dash of Aromatic Bitters and incorporate a strip of bacon seasoned with Memphis BBQ Seasoning, which we then fire up with the torch before we torch up the smoke!
The true "Smoked filled Sounds" of this cocktail come alive through the smoking process. We smoke this Old Fashioned using Oak wood chips, adding an intriguing aromatic layer that evokes the feeling of a classic BBQ pit. This smoky element perfectly complements the bacon and maple notes.
The Bacon Blues is a drink designed to excite your senses and transport you to the heart of this iconic musical and culinary city. Dive in and experience this uniquely crafted taste of Memphis!
