Simonson2021, Black Cat through Guillotine; supplied PDF ordinals 55–64. Full book reviewed; source paraphrase, not quotation.
Black Cat splits gin between two Old Tom styles and the wine component between Punt e Mes and amontillado. Dados is explicitly dependent on La Luna mezcal and citrus oils; Firmin's Folly allows varying mezcals but identifies a particular banana liqueur. Guillotine combines mezcal and blended Scotch in a sweetened, chilled drink.
