COCKTAIL RECIPE
Scofflaw
Scofflaw is a lively and balanced classic cocktail made with rye whiskey, lemon juice, grenadine and dry vermouth. It is known as one of the most remarkable drinks of the Prohibition era thanks to its sour, slightly sweet and aromatic character.
The Scofflaw cocktail is one of the interesting cocktails that emerged during the prohibition era in America. When the production and sale of alcohol was banned in America in the 1920s, many people continued to drink despite the ban. During this period, newspapers started looking for a new word to describe people who didn't care about prohibition. The word "scofflaw" emerged from a competition and came to be used for people who disregarded the ban.
Jock, an American bartender living in Paris, created a cocktail inspired by this new word and named it Scofflaw. The cocktail quickly became popular among American bar customers in Paris. The combination of rye whiskey, lemon juice and grenadine created a character that was both vibrant and strong.
