Cedar Smoked Manhattan

Jump to recipe

Different. Fun. Sexy.

All of the words that should be associated with an ideal New Year’s Eve also just so happen to describe this cocktail perfectly. On the one night of the year when the air is dripping with celebration of what has past, and the promise for a new and better year to come, you should be drinking a cocktail that makes you feel all of those things.  This is that cocktail.

The Waldorf Astoria’s Powder bar originally created this cocktail for exactly that purpose.  Not specifically New Year’s Eve per se, but the idea behind the smoking aspect of the drink was to give a sexy or fun appeal. They wanted to create a drink that would stand out in the crowd and provide more to the drink experience than taste alone.  The cocktail will be featured at the Waldorf’s ever-famous ice bar during the Sundance Film Festival this year and provide the perfect warmth to the ice bar experience.Park City Dining, Park City Restaurants

The smoked aspect of the drink comes from bourbon-soaked oak chips, which are burned in a smoking gun. The smoke is then put into the shaker with the rest of the ingredients.

We found that this sassy yet sophisticated Manhattan would be the perfect drink recipe to share for a chilly New Year’s Eve.

Cheers!
