Ward Eight -- Variation #2
This is the Ward Eight I want to drink. A bold, 100-proof rye gives it the necessary backbone against fresh citrus, but the real magic is homemade grenadine. It brings authentic pomegranate fruitiness, creating a beautifully balanced, bright sour that completely redeems the drink.
