Pro Tips

📜 History

Named after the Algonquin Hotel in midtown Manhattan, home of the famous "Round Table" where Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and other literary wits gathered in the 1920s. The cocktail's origins are debated, but it captures that Jazz Age spirit.

🍍 Fresh Pineapple

Fresh pineapple juice makes all the difference. Canned juice tends to be too sweet and lacks the bright acidity. If using canned, reduce the amount slightly.

🍸 Vermouth Quality

Use a quality dry vermouth like Dolin Dry or Noilly Prat. Keep it refrigerated once opened – vermouth is wine and will oxidize.
