Ward 8

Created near the turn of the 20th Century in Boston, this cocktail honors the West End's Ward 8, for helping secure a win for influential politician, Martin Lomasney, in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

 

Our house grenadine mixes a rich pomegranate molasses with pomegranate juice, creating a deep velvety brown hue.

Spirit Recommendations

Wild Turkey Rye 101 - Wild Turkey straight rye is known for its deep golden amber color and warm, smoky flavor. Moderately spicy in most settings, here, the vanilla and spice notes are softened by the house grenadine. At a good price point, this is a staple for any home bar - try it in a classic Sazerac sometime.

Laird's Apple Jack Brandy (sweeter alternative to rye) - Another classic cocktail, the Jack Rose, simply replaces rye whiskey with apple brandy, but the proportions all remain the same. Some may enjoy this fruitier, gentler take, while others may find this option too sweet.
Instructions

1. In large shaker, combine ¾ oz lemon juice, ½ oz grenadine, ¼ oz simple syrup, 2 dashes orange bitters, and 2 oz rye
2. Add large ice cubes (so as to not dilute the cocktail) and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds
3. Strain into chilled coupe
4. Garnish with a maraschino cherry
