Pro Tips

🍯 About Bénédictine

This French herbal liqueur (created by monks in 1510) has complex flavors of honey, herbs, and spices that complement bourbon beautifully.

⚖️ Ratio Adjustment

Bénédictine is sweet and potent. Start with ½ oz and adjust to taste. Some prefer as little as ¼ oz.

🥃 Similar Drinks

This is essentially a bourbon version of the B&B (Brandy and Bénédictine). The bourbon's caramel and vanilla notes create a different but equally delicious result.
