Ward Eight
🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
High-proof rye whiskey meets both lemon and orange juice here, sweetened with sugar syrup and grenadine -- a Boston classic dating to 1898. Reportedly created to celebrate a local political victory, it's one of the oldest documented whiskey sours with a citrus-and-grenadine twist in American cocktail history. Its bright, fruity profile has made it an enduring favorite for over a century. Shaken and served up in a coupe.
