New York History
The New York cocktail is believed to have originated during America's Prohibition era in the 1920s-30s.
During that time, cocktails with fruit juice and syrup became popular to mask the harsh taste of low-quality bootleg whiskey, and the New York was born from this era.
Named after America's iconic city, it's considered part of the city-named cocktail series born in the same era, including the Manhattan and Bronx. A classic cocktail capturing the glamour of the Jazz Age.
