  • Created as a "Manhattan that is not a Manhattan" (and a sort of companion drink to the Gin Blossom). Sadly, just not much different/better than a Manhattan. — ★★★
  • Other Brooklyn drinks (e.g. Prospect Park) are more to my liking. — ★★★

Curated this - because there was some confusion as to the proportions of this drink, I asked Julie Reiner and she sent me a picture of the recipe (which must be from The Craft Cocktail Party). Updated this to the specified brands - she's specific about them, changed 1 dash of Angostura to 2. Thanks,  Zachary
