Pour the tequila into the steel pot or pan, preferably a shallow one, allowing the smoke to contact the most surface area possible.

Place the tequila in your smoker and smoke for 30-40 minutes with Apple Bisquettes.

If using a cold smoker, you will not lose much tequila to evaporation. However, if you do have a little bit of heat coming off of your burner without a cold smoke adapter, make sure to let the tequila cool completely.

For your margarita, shake 2 ounces smoked tequila, ½ ounce agave nectar and ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice with ice. Strain over fresh ice into a Margarita glass. Rim the glass with salt or garnish with a fresh lime wheel.

Depending on the size of your tequila batches.. You might want to get a big jug of water ready for tomorrow 😉
