Monkey Gland

Don’t let the bizarre name throw you—the Monkey Gland is a bright, citrusy, and slightly floral cocktail with serious vintage flair. Created in the 1920s at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, it’s made with gin, orange juice, grenadine, and a whisper of absinthe. The result is a fruity, slightly herbal drink with a soft pink hue and a punchy personality. The name? Inspired by a quack medical procedure involving monkey… parts. Fortunately, the drink itself is much more appetizing.
