About the Monkey Gland
The Monkey Gland is a sour cocktail made with gin, orange juice, absinthe, and raspberry syrup. It combines sweet orange with herbal, slightly bitter notes for a distinctive flavor profile.
History
Created in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. The name comes from a pseudo-scientific idea about monkey testicle tissue grafting for longevity.
