Brooklyn is a Rye Whiskey cocktail in the Manhattan family that combines the spicy character of rye with dry vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and Angostura Bitters, garnished with a cherry. At 20.04% ABV, it is a complex, stirred cocktail that balances the assertive spice of rye against the herbal dryness of dry vermouth, with maraschino adding a distinctive almond-cherry note. Distinct from a Manhattan, which uses sweet vermouth, the Brooklyn is drier and more complex.
History & Origins
Brooklyn was first documented in 1908 in Jacob Abraham Grohusko's Jack's Manual, named after the New York City borough known at the time for its rye whiskey production. The cocktail fell from fashion for much of the 20th century due to the scarcity of dry vermouth in the US and the near-disappearance of rye whiskey, but was revived with enthusiasm during the cocktail renaissance of the 2000s. Its association with Brooklyn's independent identity and craft sensibility made it a natural fit for the borough's modern bar culture.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Spicy rye grain and dried fruit, with herbal dry vermouth and the subtle cherry-almond of maraschino, lifted by Angostura's complex spice. Palate: Dry and spirit-forward; the rye's spice dominates, softened by the herbal vermouth and the sweet-nutty maraschino, with bitters adding layers of cinnamon, clove, and dried fruit. Finish: Long, dry, and pleasantly bitter.
Pro Tip
Stir for a full 45 seconds over large ice to achieve proper dilution without losing the drink's intensity, and use a good-quality rye whiskey for best results.
