The Algonquin Cocktail is a great "Martini" of your favorite rye whiskey, dry vermouth and pineapple juice. It was named after the famous Algonquin hotel in New York City although when exactly it was created is unclear. The hotel, built in 1902, was known as a "dry" hotel even before Prohibition. But the how's and why's of the Algonquin Cocktail's origin are not important when you're enjoying its fantastic fruit and whiskey taste.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

a slight modification, Member alebrewer

when i tried making this myself, i found that it actually tastes a little better as it warms up (imo). try it yourself and i think you will see what i mean. when it's too cold, and you can't really taste the pineapple as much, because the whiskey dominates. cheers!
