Monkey gland (cocktail)

The Monkey Gland is a cocktail of gin, orange juice, grenadine and absinthe created in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone, owner of Harry's [New York Bar] in Paris, France.
Some recipes substitute absinthe with pastis or Bénédictine.
The cocktail is known for its distinctive flavor, which combines the sweetness of orange with the herbal, slightly bitter notes of absinthe, creating a complex and intriguing profile.
It is named after the pseudo-scientific idea that grafting monkey testicle tissue into humans would increase longevity, the idea developed by the Russian doctor Serge Voronoff.
