The Bull and Bear requires an ounce and a half of bourbon, three quarters of an ounce of orange curacao, a tablespoon of grenadine and the juice of a half of a lime (which the Internet has told us is equivalent to one tablespoon). When we realized how impossible it would be to find orange curacao in Pennsylvania (boo), the Internet also helpfully informed us that orange and blue curacao are the same,. Crazy, but true. So for our purposes, this drink looks a lot like ink.
It tastes remarkably better. Maybe it was the amethyst coloring, but I can't help but think of Dimetapp with a bite. You can still taste a hint of the bourbon, but it is masked well by the curacao and grenadine.
Three quotes from Chris:
I really think triple sec and curacao make everything taste better.
You can go ahead and say that I concurr with your post. I see no reason to publish twice on this.
I've always thought Dimetapp tasted the best of all the medicines.
