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.

Thanks, great tip, and please let me know how you get on, I'm not sure I'm going to get the chance this weekend.
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.
