Ok, I can't lie... 30 ml Evan Williams, 15 ml Grant's ale cask finish, 15 ml Benedictine, 105 ml sugar-free Coke, plus the lemon... Great specs... Could maybe use a dash of whatever kind of bitters... Eminently drinkable, but a reminder that I need to grab a bottle of my long-time love, Drambuie. Benedictine is similar, but hardly a replacement.
