Forged in times of war. The suffering Bastard was created by Joe Scialom a chemist turned pharmacist turned spy* Who created a war time hangover drink that remains amoung the best. The Suffering Bastard.

*Joe Scialom aka “Joe The Bartender” was arrested for espionage following a raid on the Shepherds Hotel that he was said to have provided intel for. Joe spent time in an Egyptian prison before being sprung by Conrad Hilton (yeah that one). Before touring the world opening bars and restaurants that helped establish the Hilton brand. An interesting spy story for another time…
