Craft cocktails are all the rage these days and there isn't a barbecue lover or bartender who I know who hasn't pondered how to mash up barbecue and cocktails.
Some people grill fruit to garnish their cocktails, others use liquid smoke or a fancy "Smoking Gun" that emits a puff of smoke, but those seem a little forced to me. I decided to look in my liquor cabinet and see if there was anything more organic that would make a smoky cocktail.
