Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz toasted marshmallow bourbon: This special bourbon infused with toasted marshmallows provides a unique sweetness that is crucial to replicating the s’mores flavor. If you can’t find toasted marshmallow bourbon, you can use a regular bourbon and add a dash of toasted marshmallow syrup for similar results.
- 2 dashes smoked chocolate bitters: These bitters add complexity and depth to the drink. They impart a smoky aroma resembling the charred edges of a roasted marshmallow, crucial for the s’mores profile. If unavailable, regular chocolate bitters can work but will lack the smokiness.
- 0.5 oz brown sugar syrup: This syrup adds a rich sweetness to balance the bourbon’s warmth. To make brown sugar syrup, simply combine equal parts brown sugar and water, then heat until the sugar dissolves.
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile, evoking the taste of gooey, melted marshmallows. Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: You will need 2 oz toasted marshmallow bourbon, 2 dashes smoked chocolate bitters, 0.5 oz brown sugar syrup, and 0.25 tsp vanilla extract. Make sure all ingredients are measured out for accuracy.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the 2 oz toasted marshmallow bourbon, 2 dashes smoked chocolate bitters, 0.5 oz brown sugar syrup, and 0.25 tsp vanilla extract. Fill the shaker with ice to help chill and dilute the mixture.
- Stir the mixture: Stir the contents in the shaker for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled. The shaking will ensure that all flavors meld together while maintaining the bourbon’s integrity.
- Prepare the glass: While stirring, prepare your glass by riming it with graham cracker crumbs. To do this, moisten the rim with a little water or simple syrup, then dip it into a plate filled with ground graham crackers.
- Strain into glass: Carefully strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass that has been rimmed with graham crackers, aiming for a refined pour.
- Garnish with a toasted marshmallow skewer: Finally, add a skewer of toasted marshmallows for garnish. You can toast the marshmallows over a flame or under a broiler until they’re golden brown.
