Introduction
Named after the controversial scientific experiments of grafting monkey testicle tissue onto humans, the Monkey Gland cocktail carries an intriguing history from the 1920s. Created by Harry MacElhone, it combines gin, orange juice, grenadine, and a touch of anise-flavored absinthe to deliver a balanced, slightly sweet, and aromatic profile. Despite its unusual name, the drink has become a classic that many cocktail enthusiasts adore for its unique taste and backstory.
