About
Created by bartender Michael McIlroy at the legendary Milk & Honey in New York, the Greenpoint is the northernmost member of the Brooklyn neighborhood cocktail family — its siblings include the Brooklyn and the Red Hook. Named after the northernmost neighborhood of Brooklyn, it replaces maraschino (used in the Brooklyn) with yellow chartreuse, lending the drink an herbal, honeyed complexity that feels both warmer and more aromatic. Rye whiskey forms the backbone, sweet vermouth provides fruit and body, and two types of bitters round the edges. Spirit-forward, sophisticated, and endlessly rewarding.
Ingredients
1 dash Angostura Bitters
0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 dash Orange Bitters
2 oz Rye Whiskey
0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
Instructions
- Combine rye whiskey, yellow chartreuse, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters in a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir for 30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.
- Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist, expressing the oils over the surface before dropping it in.
