This Italian-American blend is better and even more gripping than Godfather II

With the greatest of respect to Phil Ward, isn’t this the original (Jack’s Manual, 1908) Brooklyn recipe! Look it up— what goes around comes around, I guess!

For other readers, Jacob Abraham Grohusko's 1908 'Jack's Manual' recipe for a Brooklyn Cocktail: "1 dash Amer Picon bitters, 1 dash Maraschino, 50% rye whiskey, 50% Ballor Vermouth. Fill glass with ice. Stir and strain. Serve." Simular but with a different proportion of rye to vermouth.
