Scofflaw Instructions
The Scofflaw cocktail is a classic drink with a fascinating history. It was first created during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, when the sale and consumption of alcohol were illegal in the United States.
The name "Scofflaw" was a term used to describe someone who disregarded the law, particularly the prohibition laws. It is believed that this cocktail was named after a contest held in Paris in 1924, in which participants were asked to create a name for a new cocktail that embodied the spirit of the Prohibition era.
The Scofflaw cocktail has a unique combination of ingredients that result in a delicious and refreshing drink. It typically includes rye whiskey, dry vermouth, lemon juice, grenadine, and orange bitters. These ingredients are shaken together with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass.
To make a Scofflaw cocktail, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces of rye whiskey, 1 ounce of dry vermouth, 1/2 ounce of lemon juice, 1/2 ounce of grenadine, and a few dashes of orange bitters to the shaker. Shake the ingredients together vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to ensure they are well mixed and chilled.
Once the cocktail is properly shaken, strain it into a chilled cocktail glass. You can garnish the drink with a lemon twist or a cherry if desired. The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail with a subtle sweetness and a hint of citrus.
The Scofflaw cocktail is a perfect choice for those who enjoy classic cocktails with a bit of history. It's a drink that pays homage to a time when alcohol was illegal, but people found creative ways to enjoy it. So next time you're in the mood for a cocktail with a story, give the Scofflaw a try!
Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
