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
