History

This cocktail sits between a Manhattan and a Brooklyn, with a splash of something else.

In June 2026, the rye whiskey and rouge quinquina were reduced to 30ml (1oz) each. Assuming the use of good-tempered bar ice, the chilled water was also reduced to a barspoon. This is a small amount of water, but it helps open the cocktail.
