From the bartender’s corner – Satan’s Whiskers
Made this from a cocktail book that Natasha had given me as a Christmas present. This is a fairly old gin cocktail. And I replaced orange juice with mango juice to make it a little sweeter.
One of the interesting things about the book is that it gives some trivia with every drink recipe. For this it had – “Did you know that a cat’s whiskers go out for the same length as the width of the cat’s body? This allows them to judge if they can fit in thru a hole!”
Back to the drink – this is gin, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, orange juice and orange bitters.
I did NOT know that about cat’s whiskers, but like everything in nature it seems perfectly logical! The drink sounds dangerously delicious!
Hello Melinda! The drink was delicious. I think I enjoy the mango version more than the orange version.
