A pre-Prohibition era cocktail, the Monkey Gland is a quirky and somewhat controversial drink. It combines gin with orange juice, grenadine, and absinthe for a complex flavor profile.

The name is derived from a dubious medical procedure, popularized in the early 20th century, involving grafting monkey testicle tissue onto humans in an attempt to restore vitality.
