Head to head
Brooklyn and Toronto side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have rye whiskey. Only the Brooklyn has sweet vermouth, Amer Picon and Maraschino liqueur; only the Toronto has Fernet-Branca, simple syrup and Angostura bitters. In parts, a Brooklyn is 1 whiskey and 1 vermouth; a Toronto is 1 whiskey and 1 Fernet. By volume, the Brooklyn is 50% fortified wine and bitter and 49% spirit; the Toronto is 49% spirit and 49% fortified wine and bitter. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Toronto is the stronger drink in the glass (26.5% ABV against 20.8%) and holds more alcohol (1.68 standard drinks against 1.57). Calories are close (about 182 and 175), but the Brooklyn has more sugar (7.1 g against 2.7 g). Both are stirred and served in a coupe.
