Bold, bitter, and full of East Coast swagger, the Newark is a modern cocktail that pays homage to its Manhattan neighbor while forging its own distinct path. Created at NYC’s Pegu Club, this drink combines rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Fernet-Branca, and Maraschino liqueur, resulting in a complex, herbaceous, and slightly spicy experience. It’s moody, brooding, and just a little mysterious—like the city it’s named after.
