Notes
Vermeire has this as 1/4 gill (=1 oz) rye, 1/8 gill (= 1/2 oz) juices, 1 tsp grenadine. David Wondrich insists on Rye instead of Bourbon.
History
The earliest I can find in print is Robert Vermeier's "Cocktails How to Mix Them" from 1922, though PDT references "The Cocktail Book - A Sideboard Manual for Gentlemen" from 1915. The drink was evidently created to celebrate the victory of Democrat Martin Lomasney, who ran for the Legislature.
From other users
- Bourbon flavor surprisingly subdued. Good intro to whiskey. Good whiskey drink for non-whiskey drinkers.
- With my homemade (not very sweet) grenadine, this wound up being dominated by the lemon juice and 100-proof rye.
- My orange might have been low sugar but this felt dry and tart but quite solid.
- Agree with others - a bit tart/sour plus my grenadine was also low sugar. 2 - 3x the grenadine over ice helps a lot.

PDT substitutes 1 bsp

PDT substitutes 1 bsp pomegranate molasses plus 1/4 oz simple syrup for the grenadine. Tart and a bit darker than the original.
