Head to head
Bronx and Satan’s Whiskers side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Gin, both vermouths and orange in both. The Bronx shown here is equal parts gin and vermouths with just a spoon of orange juice; Satan’s Whiskers gives orange juice an equal share and adds Grand Marnier, so it is fruitier, sweeter and a little lighter.
