In 2007, Chris Hannah introduced the captivating Bywater at Arnaud’s. This enticing libation, hailing from the South, shares a delightful resemblance to the beloved Brooklyn cocktail. To pay homage to the vibrant Caribbean influence of the Bywater neighborhood, Hannah ingeniously replaced whiskey with the velvety smoothness of rum.
Embarking on a journey to capture the essence of the Caribbean, he skillfully incorporated falernum, a traditional liqueur boasting tantalizing hints of allspice, lime, and ginger. Departing from the conventional, Hannah artfully chose Averna over vermouth, recognizing the amaro’s fuller body and depth of flavor. Its delightful tang of orange peel not only pays homage to the South’s cherished orange tradition but also nods respectfully to the orange-infused Amer Picon found in the classic Brooklyn cocktail. Experience the unique, soulful allure of the Bywater and let your taste buds embark on a flavorful adventure.
