The Brooklyn is one of five cocktails named for the boroughs of New York City, along with the Bronx, the Manhattan, the Queens and the Staten Island Ferry.

It resembles a Manhattan, but with dry vermouth, Picon, and Maraschino.

It largely fell into obscurity after the end of Prohibition, but experienced a resurgence in the 1990s.

[3] Hegeman's Brooklyn included a mix of hard cider, absinthe, and ginger ale.

[3][2] If Picon is unavailable, another bittersweet orange liqueur or several dashes of Angostura bitters may be used.
