Scofflaw Cocktail

Scofflaw was a term coined by a US prohibitionist who held a contest to coin a new term describing a lawless drinker. That same year, an American bar in Paris, France named this cocktail the Scofflaw. Originally made with whiskey, the American-preferred spirit pre-prohibition, I include a vodka and whiskey recipe.
