Cocktail Description

The Scofflaw delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tart, with the warm oak notes of Buffalo Trace bourbon creating a sophisticated cocktail that smiles back at you with every sip.

This ruby-hued martini combines the rich, vanilla-caramel backbone of bourbon with the herbal complexity of dry vermouth, while fresh lemon juice adds brightness and real pomegranate grenadine contributes subtle fruity sweetness. Orange bitters tie the flavors together with aromatic citrus notes that complement the lemon twist garnish. Though it requires several quality ingredients, the Scofflaw is surprisingly straightforward to prepare—just shake, strain, and serve. It makes an excellent pre-dinner drink for dinner parties or a refined nightcap on cooler evenings. The cocktail pairs beautifully with smoky barbecue, rich cheese boards, or dark chocolate desserts that echo its balance of sweetness and complexity.
