brooklyn 2.0

2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Carpano Bianco Vermouth (Dolin Blanc)
1/4 oz Amaro Nonino
1/8 oz Maraschino (Luxardo)

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.
While perusing a set of online recipe flashcards from Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco, I was intrigued by the Brooklyn 2.0 that I was able to date to around 2015 from a Yelp drink photo. Besides the swap from Picon to Nonino, the bar opted for blanc vermouth instead of the original's dry vermouth akin to what Zachary Gelnaw-Rubin did with the White Collar at Dutch Kills (using Ciociaro for the Picon). Once mixed, the Brooklyn 2.0 danced to the nose with rye and nutty cherry aromas. Next, a white grape sip with a hint of caramel transitioned into rye, caramel orange, and nutty cherry flavors on the swallow with a bitter pithy finish.
