3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Honey Syrup
Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a light dusting of cayenne chili powder.
Two Fridays ago, I was listening to an episode of the Cocktail College podcast on the Clover Club, and host Tim McKirdy mentioned that he went to the Varnish in Los Angeles, and he was served the Dahlia's Revenge with the explanation that it was one of Eric Alperin's favorite drinks. When I heard the recipe, it reminded me of the Red Grasshopper with mezcal and lemon instead of tequila and lime (I learned of the recipe from his book Unvarnished). Moreover, it made sense when I recalled how Eric Alperin took a liking to the Genever-simple syrup Holland Razor Blade from Charles H. Baker Jr. circa 2009, and he gave it new life akin to Murray Stenson and the Last Word.
