Brandy and Bénédictine (a classic combo) smoothed with cream. Drier than you might expect

I haven’t made this yet but will. I have Benedictine in my cabinet but not B & B ……would it be as effective to use this and just add cream? Curious before I go buy B&B..thanks friends!

Best to use Bénédictine D.O.M. (Bénédictine B&B is a blend of 60% Bénédictine D.O.M. and 40% brandy, so if you use this, then you'll need to adjust the recipe).

Deliciously balanced, and my favorite way to enjoy Benedictine. I prefer my drink with a single ice cube, which takes the booziness back just a touch. Don’t skip the nutmeg finish :)

Made this with Paul Beau VSOP, one of my favourite VSOP cognacs. A beautifully balanced and warming nightcap. Cognac and Benedictine really are a marriage made in heaven, and the cream means it’s silky smooth. An unctuous treat.

This has all the benefits of Eggnog without the eggy taste. Great for an after dinner drink. Will definitely be in my rotation.

The photo was correct a few months back, but somehow was replaced by a different drink.

We have two cocktails named BBC on our database which has led to ongoing confusion. Hopefully images will be fixed soon (please Dan). I have tweaked the name of the other BBC and also added links between the two recipes to try and alleviate future confusion.

Please check your photo for this drink. What is shown is the BBC Cocktail. Both are fine drinks, but quite different.

Many thanks for pointing out. I'll fix this ASAP.
