📜 History
The Brooklyn Cocktail first appeared in J.A. Grohusko's Jack's Manual in 1908, a year after the Borough of Brooklyn became part of New York City. The original recipe calls for Amer Picon, a French bitter orange liqueur that is difficult to source in the United States, so most modern versions substitute a similar Italian amaro such as Amaro Montenegro, Ramazzotti, or Ciociaro. The Brooklyn fell out of fashion for decades before being revived during the craft cocktail renaissance of the 2000s, and it has since earned recognition as one of the great pre-Prohibition classic cocktails.
