Ward Eight recipe
The Ward Eight is a Boston sour of rye, lemon juice, orange juice, and grenadine. It is fruity, but the rye keeps it dry.
- Spirit: Rye
- Glass: Coupe
- Garnish: Orange slice and cherry
- Makes: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 oz Rye whiskey
- 0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 oz Grenadine
- 1 Cherry, for garnish
Method
- Chill a coupe with ice water.
- Add the rye, lemon juice, orange juice, and grenadine to a shaker. Fill it with ice.
- Shake hard for 12 seconds.
- Empty the coupe. Strain the drink into it.
- Add the cherry.
Tips
- Use real grenadine made from pomegranate. It tastes better than a red syrup.
- Cut the grenadine to 0.25 oz for a drier drink.
Best rye for the Ward Eight
Rye is the classic base. Its spice keeps the juice and grenadine from tasting sweet.
