- Brass Monkey is a name given to a number of different cocktail recipes. As with many lesser-known cocktails that are named after colloquial expressions, widely differing recipes share the same name. In the 1970s, ‘80s, and ‘90s the Heublein Company produced the premixed cocktail labeled Brass Monkey. Heublein pre-mixed bottled cocktails were fairly inexpensive and provided a portable alternative to regular mixed drinks. Heublein was based in Stamford, Connecticut, and had production facilities in the Hartford, Connecticut, area. The Brass Monkey cocktail was available in bottles from half pint up to 750 ml. During the time Heublein produced Brass Monkey, liquor stores carried mostly beer, wine, and hard alcohol; very few premixed alternatives were available. Steve Doniger, an advertising executive, named the drink after an alleged World War II spy named H. E. Rasske. Allan Kaufman, who crafted a series of stories about the spy, created the ad campaign using an old photo of his father as Rasske’s image. In 1982, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company acquired Heublein Inc. for $1.4 billion. RJR Nabisco sold the division to Grand Metropolitan in 1987. Grand Metropolitan merged with Guinness to form Diageo in 1997. Sales and popularity of Heublein's Brass Monkey spirit cocktail increased in the 1980s after the release of the Beastie Boys' song of the same name. It was widely and incorrectly believed that the Beastie Boys were referring to a different drink made from a 40-ounce container of malt liquor mixed with orange juice ("forty" is mentioned in the lyrics); however, Mike D has publicly confirmed that the premixed Heublein cocktail was their muse. After several years of absence from the market, the Brass Monkey premixed cocktail reemerged in the late 2000s as The Club Brass Monkey as part of the Club Cocktails line of bottled mixed drinks produced by The Club Distilling Company (owned at the time by Diageo) but has since been discontinued.

- Brass Monkey è un cocktail, composto da quantità eguali di vodka, rum e succo d'arancia. Può essere considerato una variante dello screwdriver con aggiunta di rum. Il succo d'arancia è generalmente richiesto come aromatizzante per ragioni di piacevolezza, sebbene una fresca spremuta sia piuttosto importante per ottenere un gradevole Brass Monkey. Il rum più adatto da aggiungere al cocktail è quello dalla colorazione scura, siccome dal marrone del rum, mescolato con l'arancione del succo, si ricava il caratteristico colore dell'ottone dal quale deriva il nome del drink (brass è infatti l'equivalente inglese di ottone). Un cocktail completamente diverso, spesso accostato alla canzone omonima dei Beastie Boys, consiste in tre parti di liquore di malto e in una di . Il liquore usato è solitamente , oppure , e sempre in una bottiglia da quaranta once. Negli anni settanta, una compagnia di liquori produsse un drink dal nome Brass Monkey, dichiarandolo originario di un bar nel lontano est. Un'altra ricetta prevede del lasciato galleggiare in cima al drink, aggiunto facendolo scorrere dal manico di un cucchiaio. (it)
