It’s time to try something new!

This cocktail is very easy to prepare and non-committal, too, as these ingredients are often available in smaller format bottles, so give it a try.

  • 2 oz.  dry vermouth
  • 1 oz.  Benedictine (a liqueur flavored with 27 flowers, herbs, roots and spices)
  • 3 dashes of absinthe

Put ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, strain and serve. 

Garnish with an orange twist!
