Suffering Bastard Cocktail Recipe
The Suffering Bastard was invented by Joe Scialom at the Shepheard’s Hotel in Cairo in 1942. Also published in Beachbum Berry's Remixed. There are numerous variations of this recipe floating about - some of which call for bourbon whiskey in place of the brandy but we've stuck with the adapted version from Smugler's Cove.
