Notes & Tips
Think of this as the Manhattan's smokier cousin — same ratio, different backbone. Grab a blended Scotch here, not a peaty single malt, so it stays smooth instead of tasting like a campfire. Mocktail swap: sub in a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative and a dealcoholized vermouth — the ratio does all the work either way, alcohol or not.
