bvankammen commented on 12/20/2017:

Good drink.  Dry, punchy, almost bubble gum-y.  It is similar in quality to the "Dangerous Liaisons" in the Death and Co. book, a significant improvement over the brandy version ("Happy Honey") in the Dale DeGroff book.  But not as good as the "original"--the Brown Derby, made with bourbon.

Bloody Hell

2 sh Rye, Wild Turkey
1 1⁄2 sh Grapefruit juice
6 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Stir ingredients with ice; strain using julep strainer into coupe glass; enjoy; repeat until pipes are unfrozen

Notes

Best mode is made using R.W. Knudson Organic Grapefruit Juice

History

J., Bar One, consulted on the pipe freeze situation, but not on the drink

sorensencup commented on 1/25/2014:

would the juice of a blood orange work in a pinch if no grapefruit juice is handy?

DrunkLab commented on 1/25/2014:

Most blood oranges are much sweeter than grapefruits, without the bitterness, and with a full orange flavor accented with raspberry. Substituting blood orange for grapefruit could still make a good drink, though you might want to add a bit of lemon to offset the sugar.

Bevx commented on 1/12/2014:

Ooh, great name (great album, too)... This looks delicious. Wish Sorel would hurry up and make its way down to Texas...

Bevx commented on 2/21/2014:

So, because my girlfriend is the best Valentine ever, I am now in possession of what must be one of the first bottles of Sorel in the Dallas area. Holy sha-moley, that is some tasty juice!... Anyway, this was the first drink we tried, and we both loved it! Had to make a few minor last-minute adjustments, though: I was low on ice, so I served it up; and I realized too late that my last 2 lemons were dry and sad, so I subbed grapefruit peel (which worked quite nicely).

DrunkLab commented on 2/23/2014:

Glad you both liked it. Sorel is delicious and versatile and I can't wait to see what people do with it as it becomes widely available. Your girlfriend is awesome for getting a bottle into Texas.
