Little Devil

by · October 13, 2023

The LITTLE DEVIL has a lemony bite to it, but that’s as devilish as it gets. In fact, my preferred recipe below reduces the lemon in order to allow the other flavors from rum, gin and Cointreau to ascend from hades and join the victim in a more harmonious tasting Elysium.

Requirements: gin, light rum, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice

  • 1 oz. gin
  • 1 oz. light rum
  • 1/2 oz. Cointreau
  • 1/4 oz. (2 tsps) lemon juice

Add 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. The mix above reduces the lemon juice to make it less tart. But for those who love a devilish amount of lemon in their drinks, match the Cointreau at one-half ounce per serving.
