If you are as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, then you know the state is well-known for its whiskey production. So it comes as no surprise that ChatGPT, a language model-based artificial intelligence chatbot, would use the famed spirit as the main ingredient for a state cocktail.

The blog Fashion Nova asked ChatGPT to create a cocktail from each state in the U.S. The drinks were inspired by the flavors, flowers, and famed from each state. For Tennessee, ChatGPT crafted the "Smokey Tennessee Sunrise."

Based on its ingredients, the drink is similar to a bloody mary but is it any good? You can be the judge. Here is Tennessee's custom-made cocktail courtesy of ChatGPT:

Smokey Tennessee Sunrise ingredients

  • 2 oz Tennessee whiskey

  • 3 oz tomato juice

  • 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1/4 oz Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 oz hot sauce

  • Dash of celery salt

  • Dash of ground black pepper

  • Celery stalk and lemon wheel

  • Ice
