Ward 8

Description

Ward 8 works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The sour structure gives the drink its discipline: spirit for weight, citrus for energy and sweetness for shape. Rye whiskey, lemon juice, orange juice and grenadine should feel bright and deliberate, with the tart edge making the flavour pop rather than vanish.

The best version tastes alive, not merely acidic; it should leave a clean finish and make the next sip feel inviting.
