Strong Classic

The Algonquin is a whiskey cocktail that pairs blended whiskey with dry vermouth and a splash of pineapple juice, creating an unusual but pleasing combination of grain spirit, herbal wine, and tropical fruit. At 17.38% ABV, it is a spirit-led drink with enough fruit juice to round the edges without overwhelming the whiskey character. Shaken and served in a cocktail glass, it has a slightly hazy, golden appearance.

History & Origins

The Algonquin is named after the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, famous in the 1920s and 1930s as the meeting place of the Algonquin Round Table — a celebrated group of writers and wits including Dorothy Parker. The cocktail was reportedly served at the hotel during the golden age of American literary culture, though the precise recipe's origin is disputed. It remains a drink associated with wit, sophistication, and New York intellectual life.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Grain whiskey warmth, herbal notes from the dry vermouth, and a light pineapple sweetness. Palate: The blended whiskey provides a smooth, slightly sweet base; dry vermouth adds herbal complexity and a wine-like dryness; pineapple juice contributes a tropical lift that softens the spirit. Finish: Medium-length, slightly dry, with lingering fruit and grain notes.

Pro Tip

Shake rather than stir to fully integrate the pineapple juice with the whiskey and vermouth, creating a unified flavor profile.
