Favorite Holiday Drink – Satan’s Soul Patch
Thanks to @justaddbourbon for inspiring this post. 
My absolute favorite holiday cocktail is called Satan’s Soul Patch. The predecessor of this incredible drink is Satan’s Whiskers which is the same recipe as below except substituting Gin for the Bourbon.
I first experienced this drink at Zig Zag in Seattle with my friend, Maureen. She took me to her favorite happy hour bar where they serve uniquely hand-crafted cocktails for something ridiculous in the range of $2-4!!
If it’s getting cold outside and the holiday spirit is in the air, treat you, your family, and your party guests to a batch of Satan’s Soul Patch.
The real reason for this post is to hear your favorite holiday cocktails. Even if it is as simple as the eggnog your grandmother made, let’s hear it.
Satan’s Soul Patch
3/4 oz dry bourbon
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
3/4 oz dry vermouth
3/4 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
1/2 oz Grand Marnier
2-3 dashes orange bitters
Pour all ingredients in a shaker of ice. Shake vigorously. Serve up (serve over ice for those who would like it softened).
NOTE: for those of you in TN, Jack Daniels is not allowed in this drink. If you insist on drinking JD, then kindly rename the drink.
Two questions:
1) Where do you get your orange bitters? I’ve found them to be difficult to find around here.
2) Does Maker’s Mark work?

1. Very astute observation, Brian. Orange bitters are very difficult to come by, so if you see them grab a bottle. They keep for a long period of time.
Angostura bitters are an acceptable substitute for this drink because of the orange juice and Grand Marnier used.
2. Maker’s Mark = bourbon; bourbon = acceptable!!
3. Any favorites of your own?
