Named after the legendary Algonquin Hotel in New York City, this is a classic 3-ingredient cocktail; not too sweet, not too dry, and surprisingly, can even be appreciated by non-whiskey drinkers.

In a cocktail shaker 1/3 filled with ice pour in 45 ml rye whiskey, 30 ml vermouth (such as Noilly Prat), and 30 ml pineapple juice. Stir gently till very cold. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Adding a few drops of orange bitters is a nice touch. This cocktail requires no garnish to complete it.
