I tried the Anders Erickson version and it was great! A bit too sweet so I'm going to give this (above) version a try next. However, I don't think I'm gonna skip the Angostura Bitters.
Adding his recipe here:
1.5 oz. (45 ml) Rittenhouse 100 proof Rye Whiskey
3/4 oz. (22.5 ml) Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
3/4 oz. (22.5 ml) Bénédictine DOM
4 dashes Peychaud's Aromatic Bitters
4 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters

I really wanted this one to work as I'm a fan of coconut water cocktails, but unfortunately, I really can't say I liked it. It's missing sweetness and complexity that even the Angostura bitters couldn't compensate for. I added ~5ml of 2:1 simple syrup and it made OK'ish..

Don't have a sweet tooth, yet I found this lacking some sweetness. Made this the second time with 7.5ml of 2:1 Simple Syrup and it was better, however, missing some "sweetness complexity", so might try another sweetener next time.
