Astoria #2

Darren Scott, laV | Austin, TX

The Astoria #2 is Austin bartender Darren Scott’s citrusy play on a Brooklyn (rye, Amer Picon, maraschino and dry vermouth) which is itself a play on a Manhattan. What it lacks in dry vermouth, it makes up for in Amer Picon, a bitter orange liqueur that Scott makes in-house at laV.
