Amazing rye cocktail. I'll omit the sugar syrup the next time though.

Used Rough Rider "The Big Stick" cask strength rye (121 proof) and replaced the grenadine + sugar syrup by 1/4 oz Drillaud Pomegranate Liqueur, which I like in place of grenadine. Added 1 dash Peychaud's but no saline (hey, we weren't putting it in our EYES). A bit tart; might increase the pomegranate liqueur to 1/3 or 1/2 oz. This belongs in the "Big Easy" section of the drink book.

Used around 15 ml lemon juice and 10 ml grenadine.
Superb drink, I felt classy just by sipping on it :)

The Scofflaw has been one of my favorite drinks since I first tried one 10 years ago. This is actually a very good recipe here; I opted for 10 ml grenadine instead of a sugar split. My recipe also uses bonded rye, but I employ an 8:4:3:2 ratio. Much respect to this version though... Maybe my memory is hazy, but the bar in which I worked where I first tried this used a footed rocks glass (which I still use at home for it), but I swear it also had egg white in it. Love it like that too.

Left out the syrup, bumped the rye, used Roses Grenadine. It’s quite refreshing and more savory than I expected, perhaps because of the pinch of salt and barreled bitters.

Rye was replaced by boubon, Creol-style bitters - by Angostura. And no sugar. Well, it's very nice!

Liked this very much. Did take Jill's tip and used all grenadine instead of the sugar syrup. Since this drink is about the pomegranate flavour, we used some pomegranate seeds as the garnish.

We really enjoyed this! We did tweak it a bit. We did 2 oz. bourbon to 1 oz. dry vermouth, and 1 tsp. of grenadine w/ no simple. Everything else the same. Really nice! Will definitely make again.
