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 (to which it is often unfavorably compared), but with the addition of Maraschino liqueur and bitters. It largely fell into obscurity after the end of Prohibition, but experienced a resurgence in the 1990s.[1]
