  • Did a split with Rye & Bourbon and used Suze instead of Bonal.
  • Quite sweet with bitterness there to hold the sugar in check. A Cynar feature.

Tried with Rye and then Bourbon. Seemed better balanced with Bourbon.

The recipe in the Cure cocktail book includes grapefruit juice (equal parts, 3/4 oz of everything, Pikesville rye, still stirred oddly enough). Anyone know if that is an update to the recipe or if it was just left out of the source post?

I've curated this to restore the equal part of grapefruit juice to the recipe, as that seems to be authoritative. Thanks commenters for the notices!
The 3/4 oz. equal measure will result in a more standard volume, but I left it at 1 ounce because that looked fun in the video!
