Selection: The first step is choosing the right type of wood chips. Each variety imparts a unique flavour, so the choice should complement your cocktail. For instance, pecan adds a sweet, nutty rich flavour - which pairs well with whiskey.

Preparation: Place your selected wood chips in your hardwood cocktail smoke top or into your smoke infuser gun, depending on your device.

Smoking: For the Sixpence Alchemy Hardwood Smoker, place the smoker on top or your glass, mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add the woodchips of choice then set it aflame until it begins to smoulder.

If using the Sixpence Alchemy Smoke Infuser Gun, place the hose into your glass or shaker (making sure it sits above the liquid so the hose end does not get wet), place the woodchips into the chamber and light until woodchips are alight. Then turn off the smoke infuser and remove the hose (you may choose to cover your glass or shaker with a coaster here).

Infusion: Let the smoke permeate your cocktail for a few minutes. The infusion process allows the nuanced flavours of the smoke to meld with the cocktail, creating a multi-layered taste experience.

Serving: Immediately after the infusion, uncover and serve your smoked cocktail. Not only will this provide a unique flavour but also a dramatic presentation, with the smoke swirling around as it escapes.

Selection: Choose the type of woodchips that will best enhance your food. 

Loading: Place your chosen wood chips into the chamber at the top of your food infuser gun. The design of the infuser gun ensures a controlled release of smoke from the chips.

Infusing: The infuser's hose and nozzle are then placed under a cloche covering the food or drink to be smoked. This confined space allows the smoke to thoroughly permeate your food or beverage.

Activation: Turn on the infuser gun to ignite the wood chips. The smoke produced is directed through the hose and nozzle, infusing the food under the cloche.  Turn off the infuser once the cloche is filled with smoke.

Infusion: Allow the smoke to infuse your dish for a few minutes. This ensures the smoke's flavour is fully integrated into the item, creating a multi-layered taste experience.

Serving: Once the infusion process is complete, remove the cloche just before serving. The escaping smoke adds a dramatic visual effect and ensures the aroma is fresh as your guests enjoy their smoked dish or cocktail.
