Brooklyn

Originally made with the notorious original Amer Picon, the Brooklyn is really one of the all-timers that has been underrated because one of its main ingredients is now a shadow of itself. One made with the new version is distinctly unmemorable, as the current Amer is a watered down disappointment. Fortunately, we have heroes like David Wondrich who do orange bitters tastings and determine what is the best substitute for the original Amer Picon (which he has tried). The winner was Amaro CioCiaro, and it's pretty delicious.

2 oz Rye
3/4 oz Dry Vermouth
1/4 oz Amaro CioCiaro
1/4 oz Maraschino

Combine all ingredients in an ice filled glass and stir for 30 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
