The Monkey Gland Cocktail
1 1/2 oz gin (Bombay Sapphire)
1 1/2 oz Orange Juice (Fresh Squeezed)
1 tsp real pomegranate grenadine
1 tsp absinthe (Neto Costa Absinthe)
Recipe from Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails by Ted Haigh
This cocktail is amazingly delicious. In a drink like this I really think fresh orange juice is what will make or break the drink. The sweetness of the orange juice and grenadine was followed by the gin and absinthe. Very well balanced drink.
The recipe is also given with 2 oz gin and 1 oz orange juice. Will have to try this in the future. Also perhaps substituting Ricard for the Absinthe.
