Today's cocktail is the Monkey Gland! This hundred-year-old gin drink has an interesting (if not, disturbing) history. Back in the 1920s, Dr. Voronoff (aka Dr. Monkey Gland) was on the "cutting edge" of anti-aging experimentation. Let's just say medical science has advanced over the past century. The drink contains four ingredients, and proper balance is key. Hope you enjoy this recipe and the story that comes with it. Cheers!
