History
Ward 8 was reputedly created in Boston in 1898, at Locke-Ober restaurant, to celebrate a political victory in the city's Ward 8 electoral district — even before the votes were counted. A bourbon or rye sour with lemon, orange and grenadine, it is one of Boston's signature contributions to the cocktail.
