A tropical twist on the Suffering Bastard bourbon-gin cocktail:
- Half a small lime’s worth of freshly squeezed lime juice (about ½ ounce)
- 1 ounce Mt. Defiance Gin Nouveau
- 1 ounce of Four Roses Bourbon
- 2-3 dashes of Giffard Passion Fruit liqueur (Giffard Crème de Fruits de la Passion)
- 1-2 dashes of Angostura Aromatic Bitters
(1) Combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice & shake until well chilled.
(2) Pour in a glass over fresh ice & top with a splash of ginger beer (I used Fever Tree). Stir with the knife used to cut the lime.
*I don’t have fresh mint, so forewent the garnish of a mint sprig.
The Suffering Bastard was invented in the early 1940s at the Shepheard’s Hotel in Cairo, Egypt. Other versions swap bourbon for brandy.
