Cocktails, The Love Fool · January 8, 2021

The Side Eye

The Side Eye is another cocktail inspired by my debut novel THE LOVE FOOL.

This cocktail honors the plump black cat that frolicked among the ruins of Largo Argentina. I named it The Side Eye because of the surly look the cat gives to my main character Alex.

The drink’s structure is reminiscent of a Whiskey Sour, but with gin. I also added a dash of black pepper, a Luxardo cherry, and of course, some Cynar for that deep Italian twist.

Warning: Consuming raw or undercooked egg may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
