The Manhattan/Brooklyn cocktail riff that birthed a dozen others, Vincenzo Errico’s Red Hook was first served at the original Milk & Honey, the influential, vest-pocket-sized, speakeasy-style cocktail bar that opened in New York in 1999. This whiskey cocktail inspired many other bartenders to toy around with the Manhattan template.
Editor’s note: This easy cocktail recipe calls for Punt e Mes, a bittersweet vermouth that’s delicious to drink on the rocks, or in many cocktails that call for sweet vermouth, including Manhattans, the Bittersweet Symphony, and the large-format All She Wrote.
