Brooklyn
The Brooklyn is a delicious cousin of the Manhattan cocktail that uses a
truly unusual ingredient that is, alas, hard to find.
The key ingredient, Amer Picon, is not available in the United States and
doesn't exist in it's original strenght and formulation even if you find it
in France. However, there are efforts to recreate the original Picon, and
the Golden Moon version I found seems to do an admirable job. I'm also
providing a link to a recipe, if you want to try making own.
The recipe I'm using on this episode is from Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits
And Forgotten Cocktails — a much appreciated Christmas gift.
Place everything into a mixing glass and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.
