Greenpoint
The Greenpoint is a modern classic born in Brooklyn in 2005: rye whiskey as the backbone, sweet vermouth lending a rounded frame, and yellow Chartreuse with two bitters burying a honeyed-herbal thread underneath. Stirred and strained into a chilled coupe, it is rich yet restrained - the Manhattan's most elegant cousin.
