Cocktail Corner: The Smoked Manhattan

September 29, 2026

Fall calls for a cocktail with a little more depth. The Willcox Smoked Manhattan returns to the menu this season, combining Maker’s Mark bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters for a rich, classic pour over the rocks. For those going spirit-free, our NA Manhattan offers a familiar finish with notes of cherry and orange.
