Cardamom adds a distinctive fresh spice to this blend of cognac, lemon juice, and herbal and apricot liqueurs

Wanted to like this cocktail since I LOVE cardamom. The muddled cardamom gets lost with the strong flavors of the cognac & Benedictine. I suggest omitting the muddled cardamom pods & instead add 3-5 drops of cardamom bitters after straining into a chilled glass. The aroma and flavor of cardamom would be more present then.

Patricia, I read your comment the other day and made some adjustments based on it and my own preferences. This seemed to work, though I could see room for improvement: 50 ml Cognac, 25 ml Benedictine, 20 ml apricot liqueur, 20 ml lemon juice, 6 cardamom pods. I might just finish this whole drink.
