History

This recipe is one-third the volume of the original, with optional additional water compensating for the use of rich 2:1 sugar syrup instead of simple syrup.

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2007 by Joseph Schwartz at Milk & Honey in New York City. Joseph's original recipe called for Old Overholt Rye Whiskey from Pennsylvania and Laird's Applejack from New Jersey, so appropriately, this cocktail is named after the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) connecting these two states with New York.
