About The Downhill Daring Cocktail
The Brooklyn cocktail and Philip Greene’s recent book “A Drinkable Feast” about 1920s Parisian libations influenced this drink, whose name is inspired by a Norman Rockwell piece. The roasty chocolate notes of Punt e Mes pair with Bénédictine’s herbaceousness and the sweet flavor of Cocchi Americano aperitivo. “It’s a spirituous cocktail without being as dangerous as a standard Manhattan,” says Brian Nixon, the general manager of Truxton Inn and McClellan’s Retreat in Washington, D.C.
This recipe originally appeared as part of “5 Modern Riffs on the Reverse Manhattan.”
