#199 Cocktail: Monkey Gland No.1 and 2

     I chose to put both cocktails in the same post, because they have the same name, it's the same colour and the only difference is the taste and the liqueurs used.. In the first one its Benedictine and in the second one it's the Absinth.
      The Monkey Gland is a cocktail of gin, orange juice, grenadine and absinthe named after a surgical technique of grafting monkey testicle tissue into humans. The practice was started by Dr Serge Voronoff, and was intended to produce longevity.
      The Monkey Gland was created in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone, owner of Harry's New York Bar in Paris, France. (Wikipedia)
