History

Enzo Errico created the Red Hook at Milk & Honey in New York, as one of several riffs on the Brooklyn cocktail. It became a standard of the city's 2000s cocktail revival.

Making a batch? Scale it for a crowd, add dilution water, and see how many bottles to buy.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
