HomyPoint Cocktail Smoking Wood Chips

Smoke is the part people remember, and it comes from the wood rather than the gadget. Six tins, six woods, cut fine and air-dried so they catch in seconds instead of smouldering into something bitter.

Each one behaves differently. Apple, pear and peach stay light and sweet — good over a spritz, a white spirit or a plate of cheese. Cherry sits in the middle and is the safe choice when you do not know what your guests like. Oak is the classic over bourbon: drier, deeper, the smoke people expect in an Old Fashioned. Walnut is the strongest of the six, so use less of it than you think you need.

The fine cut matters more than it sounds. Coarse chips want a torch and patience; these light straight off the element of an electric smoker. A pinch is enough for one glass, which means six tins last a long run of evenings.
