#301 Cocktail: Ward Eight

     It's generally accepted that this drink was created at the Locker-Ober Cafe in Boston, circa 1898, to celebrate politician Martin M. Lomasney for his victory in a race for the state legislature
     The twist of the story is that the drink was created before the election results were in. Lomasney was quoted as saying " Just before the election we send suggestions to the voters. We don't tell them how to vote. We just suggest"
        Even if this drink looks pretty and harmless, it is quite dangerous. Imagine that with each drink you consume 2 shots of whiskey. Sooo.....be careful

2 ounces straight rye whiskey
1 ounce fresh orange juice
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
grenadine to taste
