One of the more enduring modern riffs on the Brooklyn cocktail.
Created by Johnnie Solan, a legendary pre-Prohibition bartender at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria, the Bronx is a loose cross between an orange Gin Sour and a Perfect Martini.
Somewhere between a Spritz and a classic Gin Sour, the Le Grand highlights the idiosyncratic herbal liqueur, Bénédictine.
A Brooklyn take on the Manhattan spiked with Bénédictine, prune brandy and rye, from Clover Club's Tom Macy.
The Suburban is both a classic race and a classic cocktail. A New York original, it's the only cocktail we're aware of that combines whiskey, port and rum.
This punch from New York bartender Katie Stipe marries the nuttiness of amontillado sherry with Lairds Bonded Applejack and Spanish cider, to create her own boozy riff on fall.
Calvert opts for a triple-threat of Cocchi Americano, cognac and vermouth, rounded out by pineau des charentes in his Suppressor #4.
