This recipe combines elements from the world's most respected writers of vintage recipes – the base formula comes from Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy...
This is one of my favorites, and the shortbread garnish is genius! But tonight I didn't have any shortbread, so I decided to experiment with an orange peel twist, and compare recipes where Cointreau or Drambuie were substituted for the Benedictine. Winner: Drambuie. Cointreau was a little too sweet.
I like Bruce Wilson’s suggestion below of half/half Drambuie and Benedictine, which I’m just trying, otherwise I think I agree with giving the prize to Drambuie.
