Would love to know how this worked in a sing sling. I made a sling recently with a stronger jäger like sub and a cherry likör from a local distillery. Turned out quite nice.
Would be neat to try a falernum relative instead of DOM

Benedictine isn't nearly as intense in it's spiced notes, so if you're going to sub Becherovka you might wish to touch it down a bit in volume and make up the difference with perhaps a wee bit more triple sec. I like the idea though, might give it a shot this weekend.

I bought this to make a Christmas Negroni. It was delicious. I was not familiar with it prior to the “Christmas drinks post recently” An excellent addition. I tried some with tonic and found it to bring out the clove and herbal flavors.

I just bought this on a whim - it's amazing, I love it! I'm very fond of cloves so this is little surprise. The sweetness is well proportioned and has a nice bitter, herbal finish. Very enjoyable! I'm hunting of some cocktails to make with it...

Delicious and unfortunately not all that well known in the States. Has become a favorite in my house. A fantastic sub for vodka in a mule.

Excellent out of the freezer.
I have "inherited" a bottle from someone who wasn't keen, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with the site's cocktails and recreating 1 and 1 with UK stout. My query is, could this drink be used as an alternative to Benedictine (in sling business) for a Singapore Sling? Might it work, or is it crazy talk? I've not had Benedictine for a very, very long time. I remember liking it, as opposed to Chartreuse (which I wasn't keen on, even longer ago).
I guess I'll have to experiment, we all need a hobby, but if anyone has already tried, and has useful advice, please let me know.
