Little Devil
The LITTLE DEVIL offers a lemony bite, but that’s as devilish as it gets. My preferred recipe below reduces the lemon to allow the flavors of rum, gin, and Cointreau to shine through, creating a more harmonious tasting experience.
Requirements: gin, light (white) rum, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz. gin
- 1 oz. light rum
- 1/2 oz. Cointreau
- 1/4 oz. (2 tsp) lemon juice
Add the ingredients to an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
Comments: This is a great Halloween-themed drink for late October. Most recipes call for equal parts Cointreau and fresh lemon juice, but the mix above reduces the lemon juice to lessen the tartness. For those who enjoy a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can match the lemon juice to Cointreau at one-half ounce per serving.
