No Man’s Land

imageWhat better drink to order in Old Chicago than the World War I favorite, the No Man’s Land?  Made with bourbon, grenadine, lemon and bitters as a traditional daiquiri, this was a popular favorite among American service men along Western Front.

Amanda C. made this one with dubious but attentive care at the Aloft bar at Chicago O’Hare using Knob Creek 100 Kentucky Bourbon, just like the old Dough Boys used to drink. An authentic drink from bygone days, in an old town that gave much during the Great War.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz bourbon or rye
  • 1 oz grenadine
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • bitters to taste

Shake over ice and serve in a cocktail or rocks glass.
