About the Algonquin
The Algonquin is a classic cocktail named after the iconic Algonquin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, a cultural hub during the early 20th century. This cocktail combines rye whiskey, dry vermouth, and pineapple juice, creating a unique balance of dry, tart, and slightly sweet flavors.
Believed to have originated in the 1930s, the Algonquin reflects the era's ingenuity, using pineapple juice to mask off-flavors in lower-quality spirits common during Prohibition. The drink pays homage to the hotel’s historic Algonquin Round Table, a gathering of writers, actors, and intellectuals. Today, the Algonquin endures as a refined and refreshing cocktail, perfect for those who appreciate a light yet complex drink.
