Our first cocktail is the The Scofflaw. This is a modern variant, created by Gary Regan, of the original 1924 Scoff-law cocktail, which increases the bourbon and decreases the grenadine.
There are quite a few modern variants which “re-balance” them for modern palettes which usually means increasing the base alcohol and reducing other elements, as is the case here.
