After tinkering around with the Ward Eight while working at Boston’s Citizen Public House, Chad Arnholt settled on a version with a quarter-ounce of orange juice. “The balance of my own recipe depends on what the oranges I am getting taste like,” he says. If the orange juice—squeeze your own!—is sweeter, back off on the grenadine.
