Scofflaw
Recipe by Forest Collins of 52 Martinis Forest noted that some recipes for Scofflows finish with a twist of orange, some use lemon. The orange bitters are nice in here, but in case some people don’t want to spring for a bottle of orange bitters, you can leave them out, although Forest likes to use them. Orange bitters are very good in martinis, in case you do decide to pick up a bottle.
- 1 1/2 ounces of Canadian Club or Rye whisky
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce grenadine
- a couple dashes of orange bitters
- orange twist, for garnish
- Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker three-quarter full of ice.
