Honeymoon

Not sure about this drink’s history nor the name, but I can testify to her drinkability.
I’m uncovering and enjoying more and more older drinks calling for the herbal liqueur, Benedictine and I’m started to understand why; the spicy flavor shines through whatever’s poured around it and it’s complexity is sweet and special. You can substitute B & B (Benedictine and Brandy) for the Benedictine in this recipe, it isn’t as strong a flavor.

Here we go –

  • ¾ oz Apple Brandy (Calvados works best w/ this one)
  • ¾ oz Benedictine (or B & B)
  • 1 oz Lemon Juice
  • 2-3 dashes Triple Sec

Shake with ice ‘til cold in shaker, strain into cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon peel.
