Review:
A minty Whiskey Sour with hints of elderflower and grenadine adding fruitiness and colour.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created late in 2009 by Lynnette Marrero and Jim Kearns for the opening of Rye House at 11 West 17th Street in Manhattan, New York City, a bar which stocked over 30 rye whiskies but sadly closed due to the COVID pandemic.
Named after Clara Gordon Bow (1905-1965), an American actress and sex symbol of the Roaring Twenties who rose to global fame starring in the film It, earning her the nickname "The It Girl".
