Glandular Monkey

The Glandular Monkey cocktail is a surprising and delightful mix of gin, orange juice, and Grenadine, enhanced by a subtle hint of absinthe. Originating from the 1920s Paris, its name is derived from a peculiar theory of inserting monkey testicle tissue into the human body to increase longevity. This cocktail, however, is far more appealing and intriguing!
