How to Make a Brooklyn Cocktail

In today's video, I'm showing you how to make a brooklyn cocktail! Following the success of the manhattan and the bronx (two other "borough" cocktails), many people wanted to be able to claim the brooklyn as their own. In the early 20th century you saw multiple brooklyn recipes appearing in New York, but the recipe to survive today most closely resembles that seen in the Savoy Cocktail Book. Traditionally this drink is made with a French apéritif known as Amer Picon, but since that is an ingredient not available to me, I'll show you the substitution I make. If you're a manhattan drinker, you're going to enjoy this one. Cheers!

I had family bring me a bottle of Amer Picon while they were in Europe. It’s absolutely delicious to drink neat, and I recommend that anyone try it this way if and when they’re able. I’ve tried making the original Brooklyn with Amer Picon and comparing it to your version with Ramazzotti and Fee Brothers Orange Bitters. I must say that I prefer your version, hands-down. To your point, the current rendition of Amer Picon must be much different from the original version. Thank you for this video! Please keep the tidbits on the history of spirits coming; they are fascinating! :-)

I'll answer with what I know so far.. There's a few different bottles of Picon, you have Picon Bière, Picon Amer, Picon Orange and Picon Club.. I've only tasted Picon Amer and Picon Orange (I'm Belgian so all Picon are pretty easy to find around here). The description and/or ingredients labelled on the bottles are pretty much the same to be honest, they all contain orange, gentian and quinquina and what changes, is how you should mix them with. Picon Bière : "to drink straight or mixed with beer" (what a surprise.. x) ) Picon Orange : "less bitter than Picon Amer because of the addition of more orange flavouring" Picon Club : "to drink mixed with white wine, can also be drunk with champagne or lemonade with ice" Picon Amer : "to drink straight or mixer with beer OR wine, can also be drunk with sparkling wine or tonic" If it can help you, Picon Amer is the only one at 21% ABV (42 US Proof), all the others are 18% ABV (36 US Proof), and is the less sweeter and obviously the most bitter. I don't think it will make a big difference to be fair to use one or another, but it won't be the same as the one they used for the cocktail at that era as Anders stated it. The original Picon was 39% ABV (78 US Proof) and then it dropped to 25% ABV (50 US Proof) in the 1970s. I guess we'll never know the real taste of this cocktail ! =(

I am in Chicago! I work at a little cocktail bar on the border of Evanston and Chicago. It's called Ward Eight. At the moment we're not open due to the current situation, but we are still offering cocktails for take out.

The lighter styled amaro is perfect. If you have it, I think Nonino would be a wonderful substitution. Cheers!
