Ward Eight Cocktail Recipe
A classic Boston cocktail created in 1898 at the Locke-Ober Café to celebrate a local politician's election victory in Ward 8. It is a rye whiskey sour riff featuring fresh lemon and orange juices balanced by grenadine, resulting in a tart, slightly sweet, and rosy-hued drink.
