History

For the Mixoloseum's Thursday Drink Night online chat, the theme of the week was Bourbon back in October 2009. I thought about mixing whiskey with grapefruit juice and ended up including flavor pairing ideas from the Hemingway Daiquiri, the Shiver, and a few other drinks. For a drink name, I latched onto Matt Schrage's homage to a Dadaist with his Hugo Ball, and honored a Dadaist that I read about in 4 Dada Suicides, namely Arthur Cravan. Cravan, besides being a bit of a drinker, was best known as a Dada poet, criminal, man of mystery, and professional boxer.

lesliec commented on 8/16/2025:

Arthur sounds an interesting chap, and since we (almost) share a last name I had to try this.
Lacking grapefruit, I used some orange/mango juice in an apple base (inherited from a deceased friend - don't imagine I bought the stuff), which I feel is sufficiently dada to go with the rest. But we liked the result!

Devil Walking Next to Me

1 1⁄4 oz Batavia Arrack
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Salers Gentiane (Suze or Aveze will work here too)
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1 sli Lime (Lime wheel as optional garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lime wheel.

History

For Loyal Nine's Yacht Rock Sunday series, I became inspired by the song "One Night in Bangkok" off the playlist. I figured that Batavia Arrack was the way to go given the bar's inventory and the Bangkok's Southeast Asian location, and I moved in the direction of a Floridita mashed up with the Sinnerman Swizzle. I named the end result The Devil Walking Next to Me from a lyric from that song.
