Review:
Rich and slightly sweet but dried and balanced by herbal bitterness, perhaps the ultimate digestivo.
History:
A riff on a classic Brooklyn cocktail created by Alex White and shared (in January 2021) via a comment on our Perfect Brooklyn page. Alex's original, very delicious, recipe calls for 7.5ml Luxardo Perla Dry in place of the easier to obtain maraschino liqueur I've used.
Alcohol content:
- 1.9 standard drinks
- 25.53% alc./vol. (51.06° proof)
- 26.2 grams of pure alcohol
