Ivy Mix, now of Leyenda, notes that this drink, which she created for Clover Club, is called “perfect” because it’s made with equal parts dry and sweet vermouth. As for the concept of the cocktail? “It’s a marriage of the Red Hook and the Greenpoint,” she explains. “And what connects them? The BQE.”
