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.
