Pro Tips

📜 History

Created by Michael McIlroy at Milk & Honey NYC around 2006, named after the Brooklyn neighborhood. It's essentially a Brooklyn cocktail (a Red Hook variation) that swaps Maraschino for Yellow Chartreuse.

💛 Yellow Chartreuse

Milder and sweeter than Green Chartreuse, the yellow version adds honeyed, herbal notes without overwhelming the drink. If subbing Green Chartreuse, use just ¼ oz.

🗽 Brooklyn Neighborhood Cocktails

This is part of a "family" of cocktails named for Brooklyn neighborhoods: the Brooklyn, the Red Hook, the Bensonhurst, and the Greenpoint – all variations on the Manhattan template.
