The Perfect BQE

Ivy Mix, created for The Clover Club | Brooklyn, NY

Ivy Mix, now of Leyenda, notes that this drink 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.”
