Another great contribution from my family shelterin’ in South Carolina. The REAL name of this drink is the Suffering Bastard and it has quite a history that goes back to the Shepheard Hotel in 1940s Cairo. I have altered the name to reflect the times and sadly I was out of mint for the final garnish. It is a good one!
Ingredients
1 oz gin
1 oz brandy
½ oz fresh lime juice
2-4 dashes Angostura Bitters
4 oz ginger beer
sprig of mint
slice of orange
Preparation
Shake everything except ginger beer with ice. Stir in ginger beer. Pour unstrained into a highball glass and garnish with an orange slice and mint sprig.
