The Manor Bar at Rosewood Miramar Beach

WHAT: On Nov. 19 and 20, Panda & Sons founder Iain McPherson and Sam Milne will take over The Manor Bar alongside Director of Bars Eliza Hoar. Panda & Sons is widely considered Edinburgh’s premier bar, with Iain renowned across the bar community for pioneering sub-zero freezing and cryo-mixology. In his in-house research kitchen, he’s developed techniques like “Switching,” “Sous Pression” and “Densing” to manipulate flavor and texture in spirits, showcased in Transcend, the bar’s current menu. Built around wholly unique freezing techniques with inimitable pours, alcoholic sorbets and ice creams, a taste of the Transcend menu will be available for the first time in CA  — a special treat at The Manor Bar.

In addition to recent recognitions, The Manor Bar will also soon launch a new menu from Eliza inspired by spies and detectives. Highlights include Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles, made with scotch, burnt grapefruit and orange cordial and Palo Santo-infused Montenegro smoked tableside; a striking green Scooby Doo cocktail with tequila blanco, bianco vermouth and Granny Smith apple, carbonated and bottled (cheekily served in The Mystery Machine); and Casino Royale, a cucumber and pink peppercorn martini nodding to Bond’s favorite — shaken, not stirred.
On Thursday, Nov. 19, guests can start the evening at Whisky Tasting Under the Stars, a guided tasting of top-shelf Scotch whiskies led by Eliza in the resort’s Chef’s Garden (5–7 p.m.), before heading to The Manor Bar.
