The Algonquin: Why Pineapple Belongs in a Rye Cocktail

📦 Home Bartender Starter Kit → https://shop.awesomedrinks.com/products/home-bartender-starter-kit/ The Algonquin is a classic New York cocktail that dates back to the 1930s and takes its name from the legendary Algonquin Hotel. Built on rye whiskey, dry vermouth, and pineapple juice, it’s an unusual combination that somehow comes together as something elegant, balanced, and surprisingly restrained. 👉 Squeak Porn Star Martini → https://youtu.be/K6aImLGGkBA 👉 Improved Whiskey Cocktail → https://youtu.be/UREzfNQaZJY 👉 Amaro Manhattan → https://youtu.be/UjAe1AOAHhM Unlike many pre-Prohibition-era drinks, the Algonquin was never rigidly codified, which is why you’ll see variations in ratios over time. This version keeps the pineapple subtle, letting the rye stay front and center while the vermouth adds structure and dryness. 🍸 Recipe - 1½ oz rye whiskey - ¾ oz dry vermouth - ¾ oz pineapple juice Instructions: - Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. - Shake briefly and strain into a chilled coupe. If you like whiskey-forward cocktails but want something a little unexpected, the Algonquin is a classic worth revisiting. #rye #cocktails #whiskey
