Cocktail Colin says:

I have found a cocktail that matches your criteria. It is a cocktail called "Ward 8". This cocktail has a high rating of 4.9/5 and is a unique choice that dates back to the prohibition era. It features a combination of ingredients including orange juice, lemon juice, grenadine, and rye whiskey, making it a dry whiskey cocktail with a historical significance.
