Is that a typo on the lemon juice? “omit if using wet ice”

Thanks for letting me know, David. Now fixed.

Nice, but forgettable. (at least with the most recent recipe - it seems it's had various balancings of citrus and benedictine. this is at 1/4oz and 1/2oz respectively).

I've added Jones' 1977 recipe above. I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Very nice--light, balanced, lemon forward but not over-powering. A good drink for those who may not like rum. Fantastic spring sipper.

Made revised recipe and it is very well balanced. Just the right of lemon. Also tried with putting a splash (about a barspoon) of Green Chartreuse to enhance the herbal.
