Devil’s Soul
Adapted from a recipe by Ted Kilgore, Taste, St. Louis, MO.
“This drink falls into the category I like to call short and evil. Created for Halloween.” Ted Kilgore.
45 ml (1.5 oz) Rittenhouse rye whiskey
15 ml (.5 oz) Sombra mezcal
15 ml (.5 oz) Averna amaro
7.5 ml (.25 oz) St. Germain
7.5 ml (.25 oz) Aperol
1 orange twist, as garnish
Stir over ice for 30 to 45 seconds and strain into a chilled coupe. Flame the twist over the drink, then add as garnish.
gaz sez: Yet again Ted Kilgore, the Crazy Bastard from Missouri, put together ingredients that absolutely positively do not belong in the same glass. And yet again he’s come up with a fabulous drink. Well done, Ted. You Crazy Bastard.

In a Pickle by Ted Kilgore, Taste by Niche,Saint Louis,MO
Adapted from a recipe by Ted Kilgore, Taste by Niche,Saint Louis,MO.
“I created this cocktail because I had a guest request something that tasted like a pickle. It then became my best-selling cocktail.” Ted Kilgore.
2 cucumber slices
1 small dill sprig
45 ml (1.5 oz) Hendrick’s gin
15 ml (.5 oz) Velvet Falernum
15 ml (.5 oz)St.Germain
22.5 ml (.75 oz) fresh lime juice
1 cucumber slice, as garnish
1 small dill sprig, as garnish
Muddle the cucumber and dill in a mixing glass. Add ice and the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds and strain into an ice-filled highball glass (I use one large cube). Rub the rim of the glass with the cucumber slice, then lay the cucumber gently on top of the drink. “Spank” the dill sprig, then set it on top of the cucumber slice. Serve with a short straw and an impish grin.
gaz sez: Ted’s my favorite crazy bastard bartender. There, I’ve said it. What impresses me most about his drinks is his flexibility. Most of his creations tend toward the strong, Manhattan-like twists on classics, though he takes the twists to extremes at times. Then, when you’re least expecting it, he comes up with a dainty little number like this drink, and the cocktail turns out to be as smooth as a finely-tuned Harley. Let’s say that this is Ted showing us his feminine side, huh?
