- 60 ml dry vermouth
- 20 ml Bénédictine liqueur
- half barspoon absinthe
Stir with ice and a lemon peel. Serve with a lemon twist.
I just bought a bottle of Bénédictine, and I was excited to try it in a cocktail, as I really like it straight. This works well with the vermouth as a aperitif drink.
The absinthe is strangely not that noticeable, even though it usually tends to be one of the first flavor I taste. I might increase it a bit next time, as I do like it quite a lot haha.
I made myself one now, and I can see what you mean about the absinthe, even after I added a little more. I think this is one of those drink where the flavors combine in a way that tastes different than the parts.
I like this a lot, I think I’ll be having a lot of these this summer!
