Ward Eight

Classic | Sour | from Anders Erickson

While it might not be the most well-known cocktail, it has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. Legend has it that the drink was created in honor of Martin Lomasney, a powerful Boston politician who represented the city's Eighth Ward.
