Steps to Make It

1.Gather the ingredients.

2.Swirl a dash of absinthe in a chilled cocktail glass to coat it, then dump out
any excess liqueur.
3.In a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, pour the gin, orange juice, and
grenadine.
4.Shake well.
5.Strain into the prepared glass.
6.Garnish with an orange slice or a burnt orange peel.

The sweetened combination of gin, orange juice, and grenadine makes a really nice
drink. It's only with the hint of absinthe that the drink becomes truly
interesting. Most recipes for the monkey gland suggest a splash of absinthe or one
of its many substitutes, but there's something to the subtlety of rinsing the
glass. This creates a nice, fruity cocktail with the slightest taste of anise as a
contrast and the aroma itself is intoxicating and delightful.
