Satan's Whiskers
Satan's Whiskers is a 1930s Hollywood classic: gin and fresh orange juice as the backbone, sweet and dry vermouth with Cointreau weaving the layers, orange bitters lifting the aroma, and a single bar spoon of grenadine staining it a faint amber. Shaken and strained into a chilled coupe, it is bright and citrusy yet structurally complex - an elegant, storied aperitif.
