Smoky cocktails are considered one of the most impressive presentation techniques in modern bar culture. They became especially popular in the 2000s with the rise of the "craft cocktail" movement. Bartenders began to focus not only on the taste of the drink, but also on its presentation and experience.

During this period, the smoking techniques used in the culinary world were transferred to cocktail bars. The smoke produced by burning wood shavings, spices or aromatic herbs began to be used to enrich the aroma of the drink. Whiskey-based cocktails were particularly well suited to this technique because whiskey has naturally woody and roasted flavors.
