Prohibition with rye

Glass Coupe
Method Shaken
Garnish lemon twist

Rye and dry vermouth shaken with fresh lemon and grenadine — sour and tart with a sweet pomegranate underline. Born at Harry's New York Bar in Paris in 1924, named for the Prohibition-era slur for booze drinkers.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 1 oz Dry Vermouth
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 oz Grenadine
  • 2 dashes Orange Bitters

Method

Add rye, dry vermouth, lemon juice, grenadine, and orange bitters to a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
