GREENPOINT

GREENPOINT

Imagine a richer, more complex Manhattan.

The Greenpoint is a variation on the Brooklyn (rye, dry vermouth, maraschino liqueur, Amer Picon). It was created at NYC’s legendary Milk & Honey bar by Michael McIlroy in 2006 and named for the Brooklyn nabe. It keeps the same general template of spirit, vermouth, liqueur and bitters, but with a couple changes. It calls for sweet vermouth rather than dry, and the bittersweet cherry-flavored maraschino and the French aperitif Amer Picon are removed in favor of yellow Chartreuse, a French herbal liqueur.

• 1/2 ounce yellow Chartreuse
