Algonquin, a literary tribute

Named for the Algonquin Hotel in New York, where writer and wit Dorothy Parker ruled the round table in the hotel bar, the centerpiece for a gathering of noted literary figures of the 1920s and 1930s. The original cocktail called for a heftier dose of rye — we’ve used literary license and adjusted the amount.
