We love to create a creepy cocktail menu for Halloween at the Tasting Room and the Monkey Gland usually makes an appearance on it. We also served it at a Prohibition-themed event in December, and periodically reintroduce it in our tasting room. This cocktail was created at Harry’s American Bar in Paris during Prohibition, and named for a popular, but suspect, virility enhancing medical procedure that was popular at the time. All giggling aside, it’s actually a tasty cocktail – bright, herbaceous and complex. It’s worth a shot!
Monkey Gland
1 ½ oz Distiller’s Gin No. 6
1 ½ oz Fresh Orange Juice
¼ oz Sirène Absinthe Verte
¼ oz Real Grenadine
Shake ingredients with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.
Cheers!
