History

Rich, slightly sweet, yet dried and balanced by herbal bitterness – a potential digestif.

Created in January 2021 by Alex White, this is a riff on a classic Brooklyn cocktail. It was shared via a comment on our Perfect Brooklyn page. Alex's original recipe, which is very delicious, uses 7.5ml of Luxardo Perla Dry instead of the maraschino liqueur used here, which is easier to obtain.
