History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2010 by Anthony Schmidt 2010 at Noble Experiment in San Diego, California. However, for our recipe, I've leaned heavily on Satan's Whiskers' spec. I've also included a freshening quarter barspoon of crème de menthe, added to Schmidt's recipe by Justin Lane Briggs at Faro in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in 2015 (although he used two whole bar spoons).
Review:
An agave spirit-based riff on Harry MacElhone's 1922 Cameron's Kick. (I tried adding a couple of drops of saline solution to this cocktail, but they killed its pleasing steely edge.)
