Red Hook Cocktail — When a Manhattan Gets Serious

📦 Home Bartender Starter Kit → https://shop.awesomedrinks.com/products/home-bartender-starter-kit/

The Red Hook is a modern classic born during the early-2000s craft cocktail revival in New York City. It’s a bold, spirit-forward riff on the Manhattan that swaps traditional bitters for Punt e Mes, giving the drink a deeper, more bitter edge that fits cold-weather sipping perfectly.

Named after the industrial Brooklyn neighborhood, the Red Hook is unapologetic, balanced, and serious — rye whiskey up front, subtle sweetness from maraschino, and a bracing herbal finish that lingers.

🍸 Recipe
- 2 oz rye whiskey
- ½ oz Punt e Mes
- ½ oz maraschino liqueur
Instructions:
- Stir with ice until well chilled and strain into a coupe. No garnish required.

If you love Manhattans, Black Manhattans, or Brooklyn-style classics, this is a must-know winter cocktail.
