Whiskey cocktail From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 a specific type[which?] of bitters (several types of bitters can be used in a Manhattan) and the addition of Maraschino liqueur. It largely fell into obscurity after the end of Prohibition, but experienced a resurgence in the 1990s.[1]

The Brooklyn was originally invented by actor and playwright Maurice Hegeman in 1910 at the Schmidt Cafe near the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge;[2][3] although in a different version than what is now considered the standard version of a Brooklyn.[3] Hegeman's Brooklyn included a mix of hard cider, absinthe, and ginger ale.[3][2]
