In the interests of experimentation I made a Froupe with Courvoisier VSOP, red vermouth and licorice 43. Sorry no Benedictine or Bokers. Then to contrast, same ingredients and different ratios. The Addington is far superior with less red vermouth. This one is on my list!
Well it’s almost Burns night so why not? Used Glennfiddich, noilly prat red, subd drabuie for Benedictine, with dashes of absinthe and peychauds bitters. A very complex concoction! I like it. Go light on absinthe. It’s actually hard to locate Benedictine in No California, the search continues…..
I agree with Fernando, definitely an orangey drink. Used Jameson Black Barrel, Cointreau, noilly prat red vermouth. Initially I forgot the orange bitters and that really made a difference. I have Gary Regan’s book The Joy of Mixology where he says they invented the Dubliner for St Patrick day 1999. Definitely recommend.
