Refreshing

A classic American cocktail dating back to the late 1890’s. A decently spirit forward cocktail with slight sweetness from the orange juice and grenadine. Would be a good bridging point between sweet cocktails and very spirit forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned. Definitely a must try if you haven’t had this classic already.

Editor's Note

Rye whiskey meets a bright citrus blend in this Boston-born classic. The grenadine adds a subtle, fruity depth that bridges the gap between a sour and a spirit-forward sipper.
