Substitute Scotch and Drambuie for rye/bourbon and Benedictine, and you have a sweeter riff on David Embury's version of the Bobby Burns.

This was perfect for an after dinner cocktail on Mardi Gras. Nicely sweet, but not overly. Good hints of the absinthe.

Of the different variations of De La Liousiane this one is our favorite, although we will occasionally split the difference between this one and the proportions of #4, going lighter on the Benedictine. Also-wonderful suggestion on the St. George, it’s one of our favorite types of absinthe, and its basil/herb notes compliment the Benedictine quite well.

We also use St George Absinthe. It is great.
