Ingredients
- 45 ml Rye whiskey e.g. Rittenhouse, Bulleit Rye, Old Overholt
- 30 ml Dry vermouth e.g. Noilly Prat, Dolin Dry
- 22.5 ml Lemon juice
- 15 ml Grenadine
- 2 dashes Orange bitters
- Garnish Lemon twist
Preparation
- Shake all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with lemon twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
Origin Story
The Scofflaw cocktail originated during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, named after those who flouted the law by drinking illegally. It encapsulates the rebellious spirit of the time and the creativity that emerged from it.
