Satan's Whiskers (Straight)
Dry and citrusy with underlying piney gin and herbal complexity

My initial version was overwhelmed by my use of Carpano Antica… it’s the sweet vermouth I had open. I’d probably go with something lighter next time.

A charming and pleasing cocktail from a more innocent era. A modern equivalent would probably double the booze, if not more! Today one would almost consider this a breakfast/brunch cocktail.

Vaguely reminiscent of a Garibaldi, no doubt due to the orange juice and sweet/bitter/sour/fruity combination.

Very interesting! I think you need to be precise in your measurements to avoid any single ingredient being too overpowering. Made it with Beefeater, but seems like a good one to try different gins with. Possibly different vermouths, too.

My, this is delicious! Hadn't come across this before, but I'll be making it again!! Not too sweet, which is good!

Lovely and refreshing without being simple. I used blood orange juice and the resulting colour was stunning. I plan to make this throughout the blood orange season here in California.

Complex orange flavours make this seem more boozy than it actually is. Lovely.

Well-balanced - all the cast get a moment on stage!
We have all these ingredients in stock, so this could be a regular.
Maybe with a splash of Campari??

I like the idea of Campari or something similar. Since I'm making mine with blood oranges, I might try a dash of Cappeletti, which has blood orange aromas, next time.

As it's Blood Orange season I'm working my way through the OJ cocktails that I possess the other ingredients for and renaming them accordingly. This has become Dracula's Whiskers obvs...
