Cravan

0

Shaken bourbon with grapefruit juice, maraschino liqueur and a little Campari, lifted by Angostura and an orange twist. Bitter citrus over a nutty-sweet cherry note. By Frederic Yarm in Boston, 2009.

Frederic Yarm created the Cravan in October 2009 during Mixoloseum's Thursday Drink Night, where the theme was bourbon. The recipe pairs whiskey with grapefruit juice and borrows ideas from the Hemingway Daiquiri and the Shiver. Yarm named it after Arthur Cravan, a figure from "4 Dada Suicides" known as a poet, a boxer and a man of mysterious life who liked to drink, as a nod to Dada.
