The Brooklyn cocktail - a variation of the classic Manhattan - originated in New York City in the early 20th century. While it shares structural similarities with its famous counterpart, the former is known for its dry and complex profile. The drink has a clear, amber tone and unlike sweeter whisky-based cocktails, the concoction is balanced without excessive richness. While not as widely known as other classic whisky cocktails, the Brooklyn has remained a better option in well-curated bars and formal menus.
