Crafthouse by Fortessa Cocktail Smoking Box

“I think it’s the fine details that separate good cocktails from great cocktails,” said award-winning bartender and co-founder of Crafthouse® Cocktails Charles Joly in a video produced by Sur la Table and Fortessa, which partnered with Joly to create a collection of bar tools and glasses. The Crafthouse by Fortessa collection includes several items you’d expect to see in any well-equipped home cocktail station—a jigger, a muddler, a shaker—but what sets this collection apart is The Smoking Box™. Part utilitarian, part entertaining performance piece, The Smoking Box uses wood chips to impart a smoky flavor to any cocktail—and a significant whiff of drama to the whole experience.

First, shake and stir up your cocktail of choice. (Looking for recipes? Head over to the Cocktails & Drinks page.) Attach the smoking gun to the steel-and-glass box, add the wood chips to the gun, and insert the cocktail into one of the box’s two doors. After smoking, encourage guests to retrieve their cocktail from the door opposite the bartender—the finale to The Smoking Box’s three-part act.
