the marxist

1 1/2 oz Death's Door Gin
1/2 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Two Sundays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcards for 1 Tippling Place in Philadelphia and landed on The Marxist from around 2017 that made me think of the Socialist and Communist in name. In structure though, it reminded me of Sam Ross' Too Soon? but with grapefruit juice instead of the two orange wedges and perhaps the Bitter End with lemon and simple instead of Cointreau. Once prepared, The Marxist offered up a pine and grapefruit aroma. Next, lemon and caramel notes on the sip were overthrown by juniper, herbal, and grapefruit flavors on the swallow.
