Beverages Ninth Ward Cocktail

Ninth Ward Cocktail

The classic Ward Eight gets a tropical twist with this version named for the noted New Orleans neighborhood, the Ninth Ward. Invented by Brother Cleve for Tales of the Cocktail 2008, grenadine is replaced with falernum (a tropical syrup) and St~Germain elderflower liqueur rounds out this bourbon-based cocktail. It's a taste of the Caribbean in every sip.
