ABOUT
This cocktail was created in 2016 by Seth Brammer at Filament (now closed; Dallas, TX). This is a riff on the Pre-Prohibition Era cocktail, the Brooklyn. In this version, he uses a split base and adds more spices with falernum, a Caribbean liqueur with flavors like lime, almond, ginger, and clove. Cheers y’all!
