b'The Brooklyn is a delicious cousin of the Manhattan cocktail that uses a\\ntruly unusual ingredient that is, alas, hard to find.\\nThe key ingredient, Amer Picon, is not available in the United States and\\ndoesn\'t exist in it\'s original strenght and formulation even if you find it\\nin France. However, there are efforts to recreate the original Picon, and\\nthe Golden Moon version I found seems to do an admirable job. I\'m also\\nproviding a link to a recipe, if you want to try making own.\\nThe recipe I\'m using on this episode is from Ted Haigh\'s "Vintage Spirits\\nAnd Forgotten Cocktails" \\u2014 a much appreciated Christmas gift.\\n2 ounces rye or Bourbon\\n3/4 ounce dry vermouth\\n2 teaspoons (1/3 ounce) Amer Picon\\n2 teaspons (1/3 ounce) maraschino liqueur\\nPlace everything into a mixing glass and stir until thoroughly mixed.\\nStrain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.\\nPhotos by Lisa Denkinger\\nSee photo (https://www.instagram.com/p/BOxknEoAFjK/?taken-by=troycocktailing)\\nSee photo (https://www.instagram.com/p/BOxkkYmgE_j/?taken-by=troycocktailing)\\nVintage Spirits And Forgotten Cocktails (https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Spirits-Forgotten-Cocktails-Alamagoozlum/dp/1592535615/)\\nThe story of Amer Picon & a link to make your own (http://professorcocktail.com/ingredients/whatever-happened-to-amer-picon/)\\nGolden Moon Distillery (http://goldenmoondistillery.com/)\\nRate Cocktailing on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cocktailing/id1084161541)\\nOff to Osaka Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License\\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/'
