Frederic Yarm created the Algiers Point at River Bar in Somerville in 2018, after two regulars asked for an herbal drink in the vein of a Green Point or of John Gertsen's drinks at No. 9 Park. Yarm answered with a Cognac Sazerac crossed with a Green Point, a nod to Gertsen's fondness for Sazerac variations. The name follows the "Point" naming of Milk & Honey's neoclassic drinks and refers to Algiers Point in New Orleans, across the Mississippi River.
