Review:
Looking at the recipe, with liqueur and a whopping 15ml (½oz) of maple syrup, I thought it would be overly sweet. However, as you'd expect from a Satan's Whiskers cocktail, it's beautifully balanced and refreshing and harnesses Scotch whisky's affinity for pear, ginger, and lemon.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Ollie Sagerström Blom at Satan's Whiskers in Bethnal Green, London, England.
