Connoisseurs might sip on the ever-popular "Smoke & Cedar," a drink that entwines the smoky whispers of mezcal with the woodsy notes of cedar-infused bourbon. Another standout, the "Canon Cocktail," presents a harmonious blend of American whiskey, amaro, and bitters capped with a hint of orange oil, delivering a contemporary twist on traditional flavors.
