Day 22: Suffering Bastard

  • 1 oz gin
  • 1 oz bourbon
  • juice of two limes
  • 1/2 oz simple
  • dash of Angostura
  • top with ginger beer

The Suffering Bastard is one of Dane’s favorite drinks. I always forget that it’s in the tiki family! Lots of variations abound for this one, and the recipe I was looking at used 1/2 oz of ginger ale and then topped with club soda. That seemed unnecessarily complicated, so I just used ginger beer for more bite. Normally I don’t like ginger beer (too spicy) but even I had a sip or two of this. It’s also got a fantastic name for a cocktail.
