Originally a riff on the Manhattan, the versatile Brooklyn cocktail has sparked its own family of drinks over the past decade, each named for one of the borough’s neighborhoods. The Bushwick, created by Phil Ward for New York City’s Death & Co., sees base ingredients of rye and sweet vermouth stirred with Luxardo and Amer Picon, a bitter orange liqueur.
