“When the weather gets cold, I crave a cocktail that’s going to leave a trail of warmth down into my belly. This satisfies my craving for a Manhattan with an extra twist of herbal spice and smokiness. The intensity of the whiskey is softened by the vermouth, while the bitters and amaro add a sweet and nutty dimension. Created by our bartender Stephen Walkiewicz and named for Joyce’s protagonist in “Ulysses;” nevermind that the original Rob Roy cocktail was an homage to Scottish, not Irish, nationalism.” — Annie Shi, co-owner
