Wren's Grey Manhattan

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Feb. 1, 2025

Deciding on our next go-to cocktail is usually a black and white affair—unless the famous Grey Manhattan ($15) is on the menu at Wren in Suttons Bay. This elegant twist on a Black Manhattan—aka, rye whiskey, bitters, and a category of herbal liqueur called amaro—combines velvety Carpano Antica Formula vermouth with bittersweet Amaro Montenegro. Paired with TC Whiskey Co.’s North Coast Rye (though the featured spirit often rotates), a few dashes of Angostura bitters, and (the secret sauce) a touch of salt for balance, the resultant sip is delightfully rich and complex with a warming spice-driven palette. Served up in a coupe glass with a TC Whiskey Co. cherry and an expressed orange peel, this is one drink that knows what it wants! Grab one at Wren in Suttons Bay (303 N. Joseph St.). wrensuttonsbay.com
