Monkey Gland

Monkey Gland

The Monkey Gland is a classic cocktail that combines gin and orange juice with a splash of grenadine and a few drops of absinthe or orange bitters, creating a vibrant and fruity concoction. Its unique name and colorful appearance make it a playful choice for adventurous drinkers, while the balance of sweetness and herbal notes adds depth to its flavor profile. Often garnished with an orange slice or cherry, the Monkey Gland is a delightful nod to the roaring twenties.
