Devil's Disciple
0
Rye whiskey and mezcal with amaro, a little Ancho Reyes chile liqueur and Angostura, finished with grapefruit peel. Stirred in a rocks glass: smoky and bittersweet with a faint chile warmth. By Frederic Yarm, Somerville, MA in 2025.
Frederic Yarm devised the Devil's Disciple in 2025, building on the Sfumato and Ancho Reyes pairing found in drinks such as Ashes in Our Mouths and Comanche Club. Rye whiskey and mezcal, borrowed from the Devil's Soul, are joined by mole bitters in small measure. The name nods to Aleister Crowley, who appears in Ernest Hemingway's posthumous novel A Moveable Feast, set in 1920s Paris.
