03History
Michael McIlroy at Milk & Honey named it for the Brooklyn neighborhood where he lived — part of the same series as the Red Hook.
The chartreuse dose is subtle: just enough to color the whole drink without owning it — the 130-herb mystery as seasoning.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
