Equipment Needed
To make this easy cocktail, you will need the following:
Cocktail shaker (I love my Godinger Dublin shaker).
If you don’t have these two items, in a pinch you can use a mason jar and the lid for straining your drink into the glass.
If you want to make the smoke effect to really make this drink spooky and magical, you need a cocktail smoking gun like the one I used which is from Amazon. This is a great tool for making all kinds of fun drinks like a Smoked Old Fashioned.

Add ice into the cocktail shaker and then pour in your grenadine
Step Two: Add in the alcohol

Step Three: Top With Juice
Add in orange juice then shake the drink for about 15-20 seconds.
Step Four: Prepare your smoke (optional)
Using your smoking gun, get your wood chips ready. Then strain your drink into a tumbler containing fresh ice.
Cover and start your smoker.
Once the cover is filled with smoke, uncover and serve.
