The Algonquin Cocktail is a vintage cocktail from the 1930s named after the famous New York hotel. It combines the strength of rye whiskey, the tropical freshness of pineapple juice, and the dry roundness of dry vermouth. Light, subtle, and refined, it serves as an original alternative to classic whiskey cocktails.

• 5 cl rye whiskey (or bourbon based on preference)
• 2.5 cl fresh pineapple juice
• 2.5 cl dry white vermouth (e.g., dry vermouth)
• Ice cubes
• Garnish: pineapple or lemon zest

1. Pour all ingredients into a shaker or mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
2. Stir gently for 10 to 15 seconds to chill the cocktail without over-diluting.
3. Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with a lemon zest or a fresh pineapple slice based on your preference.

- Opt for freshly squeezed pineapple juice for better aromatic intensity.
- You can add a few drops of bitters for more complexity.
- For a sweeter version, use a slightly sweet white vermouth.
