The Red Hook is named after the Brooklyn, New York neighborhood and is a modern version of the Manhattan. The original recipe has Punt e Mes but I’ve read that a good substitute is 2:1 sweet vermouth and Campri. I had those so instead of buying another liqueur I went with the substitute. I also adjusted the quantities of each ingredient to allow for a “sidecar”.

I have a propensity for boozy cocktails and this one hits that mark.
