This strikes me as a drink which requires pinpoint balance - I went a little over, maybe 12ml of maraschino, and it was almost all I could taste

Coming back to it a year later, being very precise with my measurements...it's just really not good. At least now it's not just a maraschino bomb, but it's all around mediocre. Reminds me a lot of a martini, weirdly.

What a marvelous after-dinner drink. The herbal hints from the Benedictine along with the maraschino enhance the cognac. The prosecco enlivens the cocktail.
