Had a 5:1 martini, and then this. It's quite the opposite, rather boldly flavourful than subtle. Most refreshing use of benedictine i've ever had the pleasure of trying. I think i have found a new favourite martini

Made this just now with powdered canesugar and Clément VSOP rum de Martinique. The complexity of the rum seems to be amplified by the use of canesugar, definitely would recommend

Using good ice in the glass can't be emphasized enough here, the taste just keeps evolving with every slow sip. Amazing drink

Also known in french speaking parts of the world as a "demarreur", loosely translated as a kickstarter
