Dosage & Tips

Start with 1-2 drops per serving as this is a highly concentrated aroma. The woody and smoky profile pairs beautifully with dark spirits, chocolate, and coffee. Mix thoroughly before use. Best results achieved in drinks with higher alcohol content or rich fat bases. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the concentrated tobacco essence and woody notes.
