Recipe - The Smokey Mike cocktail

@20stonespice and I had a cocktail at Beavers in Houston last week, and ended up harassing Mike, the bartender who created it, for the recipe. It turns out that giving away booze at 10 AM at Salado is easier than you would think, and a few folks wanted the recipe, so here goes:

Recipe for a social amount of Smokey Mikes

4 oz - Smoked rye whiskey (method below - we used Bulleit at Salado)
4 oz - Bourbon (ditto)
4 oz - fresh squeezed lemon juice (if you us store bought sour mix, we will hunt you down)
3 oz - Aperol
3 oz - Peach brandy
3 oz - Simple syrup

Shake with ice
Serve up in a chilled glass
Drive carefully

To smoke the rye

Light a small pile of mesquite chips in your BGE (but not the lump)
Pour a bottle of rye in a pan, placed in a bigger pan full off ice
Cold smoke your rye for 30 min to an hour, the temp should never move up
Recant into the bottle, and get ready to end your day with a tasty cocktail 

Enjoy

    I see that I had enough of them that I couldn't spell "smoky" right.  Can anyone tell me how to edit that so that I can live with myself?

    You have to live with it! You only have 1 hour to edit your posts here. After that it lives forever as is.

    Not the answer I was looking for.

    Also, the simple syrup should be "to taste" and will depend on how tart or sweet your lemons are

    I didn't get nearly enough of this as I wanted, which in hindsight was probably a good thing.

    BTW, @20stonespice is the world's most wonderful sous chef... I'm losing count of how many cooks she made happen!

    I have been living with it since 2010 :lol:

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    That was delicious.  I'm still under the influence from that fest.
