New York is famously associated with several iconic drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The Manhattan cocktail, made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, is named after the borough and is a staple of classic American mixology. The Martini, especially the Dry Martini, is synonymous with New York’s sophisticated mid-century culture. In terms of non-alcoholic beverages, New York-style cheesecake is often paired with coffee, but the city is also known for its egg cream, a fountain drink made with milk, carbonated water, and chocolate syrup, despite containing neither eggs nor cream. Additionally, New York’s tap water is famously high quality and often cited as a key ingredient in its bagels and pizza. In recent years, craft cocktails and artisanal coffee have become major parts of the city’s drinking culture. However, the Manhattan and the Martini remain the most historically significant and widely recognized alcoholic drinks associated with New York City.
