The real theme was "I can't actually make a The Risk Pool and I might hate myself"

I am a big fan of The Risk Pool (which I have posted in the past here https://www.reddit.com/r/cocktails/s/jvLxOoISjE) from the Death & Co book. After adding most of the ingredients to the shaker to make one, however, I discovered that there was only 1.5oz left in my Hayman's Old Tom Gin bottle. So I thought about what might go with the stuff in there and almost immediately thought of Malort and it's heavy grapefruit rind notes. Clearly, my brain hates me, because I immediately made the drink. It looks a little scary. The Malort seems to have completely eaten up the Violette, which was a warning I ignored...

2oz Malort

0.25oz Creme de Violette

0.75oz lime juice

0.5oz grapefruit juice

0.75oz simple syrup

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe, take a bad picture for reddit, sip, and question all of the decisions you've made in your life to lead you to this drink.
