Made in honor of the latest how to drink (though this is the traditional recipe, not the one on that episode) 0.5 Benedictine 0.5 rye 0.5 cognac 0.5 sweet vermouth 2 dashes each peychouds and angostura Stirred, up Very interesting drink. Almost tastes like coffee.

Read that too quickly. Thought it said Bactine.

I love this drink (honestly I love most cocktails with Benedictine).

  • it is a very interesting drink and is a delicious one at that, but…

  • …it does not taste like coffee. So if a coffee drink seems not up your alley that’s okay. It’s more of a much more floral Manhattan.

    I absolutely love the Vieux Carre, but my preferred spec dials down the benedictine to a barspoon floated on top (its quite sweet, and you really want it for the aroma more than anything, IMO).

    If you can get real Maraschino cherries, they make a killer garnish.
