About The Suffering Bastard
So there are actually two versions of this cocktail but the IBA recognizes the original recipe which is listed below. Trader Vic also created a popular Tiki cocktail using the same name, however it is a tropical juice and rum variant. We chose to mirror the IBA and feature the OG Recipe featuring gin and brandy. This recipe was a “hangover cure” for WWII troops stationed in Egypt.
Ingredients:
1 oz. Gin
1 oz. Brandy
½ oz. Lime Juice
2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
Top with Ginger Beer
Lime Wedge for Garnish
