Ward Eight

2 oz Rye (or Bourbon)

1⁄2 oz Orange juice

1⁄2 oz Lemon juice

1 t Grenadine

1 sli Orange (as garnish)

1 Maraschino cherry (as garnish)

Instructions

Shake, strain, straight up, cocktail glass. Garnish (or not, as desired).

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.
