The Clockwork Orange

No, it isn’t a Knifey Moloko high-ball. The author of “A Clockwork Orange” Anthony Burgess left us few clues except that one of the main ingredients is milk and probably barbiturates to taste, but this drink isn’t a bad replacement:

  • 1½ oz gin
  • 1 oz Irish whiskey
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 2 or 3 dashes Miracle Mile Chocolate-Chili Bitters
  • freshly grated nutmeg

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, gin, whiskey, orange and lime juices, simple syrup and bitters, shake, strain into a chilled coupé, garnish with nutmeg and serve.
