bullfinch trio

1 1/4 oz Beefeater Gin
3/4 oz Becherovka
1 oz Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1 dash Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.While writing up the Satan's Mustache, I did a web search to confirm the difference between the straight and curled versions of the gin-based Satan's Whiskers. That search led me to a ToastTab from a restaurant that included that classic and curiously a few recipes from Alcove in Boston possibly entered by a bar alumni. The recipe that called out to me was the Bullfinch Trio as perhaps a Negroni that traveled to the Czech Republic and underwent a metamorphosis; the current Alcove menu has the subtitle for the drink as "side angle side". Moreover, Alcove's Facebook has a 2019 post with a quote from lead bartender Will Piquette declaring, "I can just imagine cuddling up by a fire sipping on this cocktail (Bullfinch Trio) and watching the snowfall." Once prepared, the Bullfinch Trio opened up with an orange, grape, and clove bouquet. Next, a grape-driven sip led into gin, red fruit, cinnamon, and clove flavors on the swallow.
