Yearning for a taste of the sinfully delicious? Take a walk on the wild side with a slight variation of the Bronx Cocktail. Satan’s Whisker’s is almost identical. The exception is the classic Bronx Cocktail omits the Grand Marnier and bitters. The Bronx is excellent for those preferring less sweet, while Satan’s Whiskers gives the wicked a little sugar fix for the sweet tooth.
Satan’s Whiskers – The Essential Cocktail, Dale DeGroff
1 ounce Gin
1/2 ounce Italian Sweet Vermouth
1/2 ounce French Dry Vermouth
1/2 Grand Marnier
1 ounce Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Dash Angostura Bitters
Orange Peel Garnish
Combine all liquid ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with fresh orange peel.
Fresh orange juice is a definite must for this specific cocktail as it lends the perfect amount of lightness to the drink rather than weighing it down. Vermouth shines as an extreme player by adding lush richness throughout the middle. Change the essence of the cocktail a touch by playing with different gin brands with their varied flavor profiles.
