Brooklyn

A pre-Prohibition Manhattan cousin from the borough that never sleeps - bold rye meets dry vermouth and a whisper of Maraschino for a cocktail that's sophisticated, spirit-forward, and unmistakably New York.

From the Bartender

The Brooklyn is a close relative of the Manhattan but calls for dry vermouth instead of sweet, giving it a leaner, more austere character - some classic recipes also include Amer Picon, which can be approximated with a small measure of Amaro Averna if available.
