Add depth to your cocktails with four different wood flavors.

TL;DR: Bring the upscale bar to your kitchen with the SmokeTop Cocktail Smoking Kit, on sale for $79.99 — an 11% discount — as of July 24.


Barbecue season is the best season of the year. Full stop.

It’s hard to improve upon something that’s already so great — friends and family, deliciously smoked meats, and all the sides you can imagine. But it is possible — especially if you have the SmokeTop Cocktail Smoking Kit at your disposal.

Created by bartenders, the American-made Cocktail Smoking Kit from Middleton Mixology features a SmokeTop cap, a torch lighter, and premium food-grade smoking chips in four different flavors, so you can smoke up a cocktail like a pro. It’s designed so that anyone, bartender or not, can whip up a delicious cocktail with ease. Just load the SmokeTop chimney with a small number of chips of your choosing — it comes with apple, cherry, cinnamon, and oak — place it on the lid of your glass, hold the torch lighter five inches away, and slowly lower it to about two inches. Once you see the smoke fill up your glass to your desired amount, it’s good to go. It’s fairly simple, really, but finding that perfect amount of smoke will require a bit of taste testing.

Here’s a quick glimpse at how it works:

Each tin has enough premium smoking chips for 100 cocktails, so the kit should last you quite a while, even if you’re planning on throwing a full-blown rager or two. Just be prepared for the inevitable reputation you’ll build in the neighborhood as the best bartender around. Once your guests get a taste of that heady, full sensory experience, they’ll surely keep coming back for more.



For a limited time, you can snag the full kit — equipped with the SmokeTop, torch, four tins of wood chips, and even an extra mesh screen (the built-in one will deteriorate over time) — on sale for just $79.99 (regularly $89).
