ward 8 cocktail
This one genuinely surprised me.
I think I’ve had this cocktail recommended to me a few times, but when I randomly stumbled across this recipe in the NoMad Cocktail Book, I figured it was time to give it a whirl.
In the book, they call for Rittenhouse Rye, which is at 100 proof. I opted for Still Austin’s Cask Strength Rye and honestly it was a bit too hot clocking in at 116.
While I love this rye in cocktails, I would have to adjust the ratios a bit to achieve some more balance. Tart, lightly fruity, while still being whiskey driven.
Ingredients
0.5oz | 15ml grenadine
0.5oz | 15ml orange juice
0.5oz | 15ml lemon juice
2oz | 60ml rye whiskey, preferably 100 proof
Cocktail Directions
Combine all ingredients into a shaker tin, add ice, shake, and double strain into a coupe or Nick & Nora. No garnish.
