Instructions

Start by making the simple syrup. Preheat a smoker to 200f. In a bowl, combine sugar and hot water and whisk until sugar dissolved. Add cinnamon and clove, then pour into a shallow baking dish and place into the smoker for two hours. Remove then cool, and store syrup in a jar.
To assemble the cocktail, pour whiskey, smoked simple syrup and bitters into a cocktail shaker, and stir quickly to combine. Pour into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube, then finish with salt sprinkle.
