ABOUT
This drink was created in 2008 by Michael McIlroy at the now closed Milk & Honey (New York). McIlroy sought to make his own neighborhood cocktail, so he named this Manhattan riff after Brooklyn’s Greenpoint area. He originally wanted to use Green Chartreuse, but realized Yellow was better suited. Cheers y’all!
