Science Of Drink

This interesting cocktail has interesting story and two versions – english and american. You can read very interesting article by Gary Regan here. I try cocktail Monkey Gland some times ago and use Anisette liqueur instead Pernod and it was very interesting. Now I decide to explore this cocktail with Pernod, Ricard and Benedictine.

I use follow recipe of Monkey Gland Cocktail:

Monkey Gland

45 ml gin
45 ml fresh orange juice
1 tsp. grenadine
1 tsp. Pernod (or Ricard, or Benedictine)
Shake. Old-fashioned glass.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Pernod has bright and very interesting taste. It is my choice. I use hot process homemade grenadine for great color and real taste.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Ricard has so sweet taste. It steel good :) Some great bartenders make this cocktail with Ricard.

Monkey Gland Cocktail with Benedictine is different cocktail. It has very interesting herbal flavor and taste.

The modern version of Monkey Gland Cocktail is strongest and serve in cocktail glass.
