“We contend that the ‘curled’ Satan’s Whiskers is more diabolic… we sip our Satan’s Whiskers curled if it’s still light outside and straight if it’s not.”
So says Paul Harrington in Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the 21st Century, and I am not one to quibble with his declaration. The Satan’s Whiskers first shows up in the Savoy Cocktail Book circa 1930, and it appears in two variations: straight, when mixed with Grand Marnier, and curled, when mixed with orange curaçao. Since both versions appear together there is no “official” declaration of which drink is the original or correct one, so the recipe depends upon good old-fashioned personal preference.
