Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 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.

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
