Our second classic (and vintage) cocktail this evening is the Scoff-Law; it was created by a bartender called Jock at Harry’s New York Bar in 1924, following a competition by the Boston Herald to find an epithet for those who would try to flout the rules of Prohibition; the winning epithet was “scoff-law”.
