Don’t sleep on the Brooklyn cocktail! This riff on a Manhattan is a classic that deserves some attention. However, there is a small problem to overcome. A primary ingredient cannot be found here in the US and there is no way to make the original, until now. Uncle Brad gives us a great stand-in recipie, with a Jules riff of course, and teaches us how to make the Amer Picon that made this drink so magical – so stick around for todays history lesson for that recipe.
