Corrected recipe. Increased first 3 ingredients from 1/2 to 3/4 oz, and added missing Grand Marnier. Added attribution.



3 drops of my homemade bitters was too much. Try 2 next time. 3/4 oz OJ used. Used Lillet Rouge. Will try with Antica next.


This is one of my favorite Savoy cocktails. Note that the ratios in the book differ from the above recipe: orange juice should be equal parts as with the two vermouths and gin. Grand Marnier--which makes this "Satan's Whiskers (straight)"--is at a ratio of 1/2 the other components. The specific gin and vermouths are not called out in the Savoy.
