“Scofflaw”- n. a person who flouts the law, esp. by failing to comply with a law that is difficult to enforce effectively.
I would say that’s a pretty accurate description of this drink – whiskey scoffing at the relative sweetness of grenadine, the lemon and vermouth adding a bit of balance. All in all, the ingredients get along much more famously than the bootleggers and the law during Prohibition!
Natalie had Batch 206‘s bourbon, Barrel Raider on hand, so she used that in place of rye. Yum!
1 1/2 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. dry vermouth
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz. grenadine
Ice cubes
Tools: mixing glass, strainer
Glass: cocktail
Garnish: lemon twist
Combine all ingredients with ice and shake. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
