Scofflaw Cocktail
The Scofflaw is a delightful classic cocktail that elegantly marries the robust flavor of rye whiskey with the crispness of dry vermouth, the tartness of fresh lemon juice, and the subtle sweetness of grenadine. This cocktail is a true testament to the Prohibition era, emerging in the 1920s when cocktail culture flourished despite restrictions. The name 'Scofflaw' itself refers to those who defied the law, making it a fitting tribute to the rebellious spirit of the time. Perfect for sipping on a sophisticated evening or impressing guests at a gathering, the Scofflaw is a timeless drink that encapsulates the essence of vintage cocktail craftsmanship.
