The Double Standard is a sour that was created by Derric Crothers over at Boston’s Green Street. The name "Double Standard" comes from the fact it's a Split Based cocktail with both Gin and Rye in equal measure. There is another drink out there sharing the same name containing Cucumber-infused Vodka, but this is the one I found to be most enjoyable. There is also the Double Standard Sour. I will link to those recipes if you are interested.
