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

Very nice mix of dark fruit, spice, and orange, like a tiki drink's European cousin. Cocchi as the sweet vermouth worked perfectly.

I made it in a hot summer night. Served it on a rocks glass with a large piece of ice, so I shook it a little. I used aquafaba too because, why not? Liked it.

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.
