1 oz | Strucchi Red Bitter (Campari-style liqueur) |
1 oz | Green Chartreuse (or alternative herbal liqueur) |
1 oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
1⁄2 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
4 drop | Saline solution 4:1 (20g sea salt to 80g water) |
Full-on and on the bitter side of bittersweet. Pucker-up for a characterful aperitivo. Saline solution is an essential component to the success of this cocktail.
Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by Nick Bennett, beverage director at Porchlight in New York City, USA. On the bar's menu, this was listed under the heading "Guzzlers", cocktails described as being "Light & easy...maybe too easy". This cocktail's name was apparently inspired by a Broadway play called The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.

I bought a dripper bottle from a health store. 20g salt, 80g water. Very easy, very cheap.
I've used agave syrup instead of sugar.
