Review

This riff on the Satan's Whiskers (in turn a Bronx variation) calls for it not to be 'curled' (as is the case when you use orange curaçao), but to be "marcelled", apparently a deep soft wave in one's hair (for those that still have some) created with curling tongs and popular in the 1920s and 1930s.

Very pleasant and drinkable but I agree that it feels simple. I think it would be a crowd pleaser and it's my favourite orange based cocktail so far but it isn't super "exciting". not everyone wants exxciting though and I'd say this has a safe place on a menu for guests who are new to cocktails.

It would only take some random influence to fall in love and send this vital. Great flavour combo, backbone courtesy the falernum and additional gin compared to other Satan’s whiskers variants.

This just did not work for me. I found this to be very bland. Would not make again.

Absolutely love this! All of the ingredients get their time to shine. The juice and vermouth give way to the gin with the falernum just lurking underneath. Delicious!
