Smoked Ice with an Orange Twist

 Smoked Ice....excellent for a Bourbon on the rocks, or other cocktails!  

8 cups water

1 orange, sliced

Put the water and orange in a pan ( I used a 9 x 13 foil roasting pan).

Preheat smoker to 175(or lower as long as you can maintain the smoke, less evap at lower temp), with a mild wood like cherry or apple (oak would be fantastic too!)

Smoke the water for 45 minutes. Turn off the smoker and close vents, allow to cool without opening for 1 more hour.

Strain out the orange slices (I ran it through a coffee filter to get out all stray orange particles) 

 Place pan in freezer and chill until frozen solid (alternately you could strain into ice trays)

Smash with a meat hammer and remove from pan and place in a large ziplock bag. 

Serve with your favorite bourbon or whiskey or cocktail
