  • The fernet is overpowering. That's not really a *bad* thing per se but it drink comes across as a little one-note. Might want to dial it back?

An update on the "classic" Satan's Whiskers from the eponymous London bar, augmenting the orange juice with lemon for what M. Frog of Tartines to Tikis characterizes as a fresh and lively drink that avoids the common cocktail ailment of death by orange.

  • Somewhat complicated prep but the payoff justifies it. I used PFDC instead of Grand Marnier. Well balanced with just enough bitterness.

Ron-Yki-On Guess

2 oz Rum (Roasted ginger infused)
2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Agave syrup
3 dr Cardamom bitters
Instructions

Shake and strain all but the bitters - float this on top. To shortcut the ginger infused rum, I did a rapid infusion with an ISI cream whipper and fresh ginger

Notes

Please correct if you know better, especially if you are Greg.

Original calls for ginger infused rum; as a shortcut I did a rapid infusion of fresh ginger in an ISI cream whipper. Original has cardamom-sugar rim instead of the bitters.

East Bay Sunset

1 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
2 oz Dry white wine
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain, serve

Notes

Substitute dry vermouth for less bitterness, modest minerally white (budget sauvignon blanc) blends well, but less vino or more aggressive gin can tip the balance nicely

History

Tired of Kirs, inspired by summer leftovers including an Unusual Negroni
