Devil’s Whiskers

Satan's Whiskers cocktails, a forgotten classic.

This forgotten basic cocktail could be discovered within the wonderful “Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the twenty first Century.” The authors say there are two methods to make Devil’s Whiskers, straight or curled. The “straight” Whiskers makes use of Grand Marnier; the “curled” Whiskers makes use of Cointreau. I take mine straight. And straight up.

3 ounces gin

3 ounces candy vermouth

3 ounce dry vermouth

2 ounces orange juice

2 ounces Grand Marnier

2 dashes orange bitters

Shake with cracked ice; pressure into a relaxing cocktail glass.

1 to 1 1/2 grapefruits (juice to equal 8 ounces)

2 tablespoons sea or kosher salt

8 ounces vodka or gin

2 ounces candy vermouth

2 ounces Cointreau

Take away 4 lengthy strips (twists) of rind from the grapefruit, being cautious to not take away very a lot of the white pith. Lower the grapefruit in half and squeeze the juice from every half. It is best to have about 8 ounces. Reserve one rind.

Pour the salt onto a small plate. Lower the reserved grapefruit rind in half, then rub the juicy facet of the fruit alongside the outer fringe of the lip of every glass… not alongside the within of the rim. Holding every glass at an angle, roll the outer fringe of the rim within the salt till it’s totally coated.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, vermouth, Cointreau and grapefruit juice. Shake vigorously till the skin of the shaker is completely beaded with sweat and is extraordinarily chilly to the contact.

Pressure into the cocktail glasses. Add a grapefruit twist to every and serve.

The Bone

The Bone cocktail.

Tailored from David Wondrich, cocktail historian and author extraordinaire. In line with Esquire, for which Wondrich was a cocktail correspondent (how do you want that title?), the drink was initially created for The Chickenbone Cafe in Williamsburg, however revived for a Halloween article, largely due to its title. I believe it’s tasty any time of yr.

8 ounces Wild Turkey 101 rye

4 teaspoons contemporary lime juice

4 teaspoons easy syrup

5 dashes Tabasco sauce

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the remaining components and stir properly. Wondrich says to pressure right into a tall shot glass, however we favor a cocktail glass. (Does that make us much less manly?)
