The Manhattan is a timeless cocktail, but adding a touch of smoke transforms it into something extraordinary. The gentle infusion of smoky aroma complements the whiskey's bold character and the sweet vermouth’s richness, creating a multidimensional flavor profile. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or unwinding after a long day, a Smoked Manhattan offers sophistication in every sip.

Elevate the classic Manhattan with a smoky twist that adds depth and intrigue to every sip. This bold cocktail combines the rich flavors of whiskey or bourbon, sweet vermouth, and aromatic bitters with a captivating layer of smoke. Perfect for impressing guests or savoring a luxurious evening at home, the Smoked Manhattan is a modern take on an enduring classic. Whether you're using your favorite bourbon or rye, this recipe is guaranteed to deliver a complex and unforgettable experience.

Tip: When you smoke the glass first, the smoke will cling to the sides, and with every sip, your nose will catch that smoky aroma. While the drink itself remains unchanged, your senses will be tricked into thinking the entire profile has shifted, adding a unique layer of depth to each sip. Some prefer to smoke the completed drink again for visual effect, which is perfectly fine, but keep in mind that the smoke will only linger on the surface of the liquid.
