Ingredient:

• ( 1.5 oz ) Rye Whiskey — High West Double Rye
• ( 0.5 oz ) Sweet Vermouth — Carpano Antica Formula
• ( 0.5 oz ) Dry Vermouth — Dolin
• ( 0.5 oz ) Benedictine — DOM
• ( 0.25 oz ) Campari
• ( 1 tsp ) Dried Thyme Leaves

Notes:

• Begin by lighting the dried thyme leaves on fire. When lit, invert a decanter over top to capture smoke. When the decanter is opaque, quickly seal the top. Put aside for later.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing glass over ice and stir.
• Pour drink into the smoke-filled decanter. Swirl for 5-10 seconds. The longer you swirl, the more smokey the cocktail.
• Transfer drink into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
