Variations: The Savoy’s “Curled” version uses orange curaçao in place of Grand Marnier.
The Savoy gives two parts each of the vermouths, gin and orange juice to one of Grand Marnier; the amounts are scaled to a 3 oz drink.
The ratio
2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1
In parts, a Satan’s Whiskers is 2 vermouth, 2 vermouth, 2 gin, 2 orange and 1 Grand Marnier. Change one part and you have a cousin; the closest are below.
