I have wanted to like this recipe for a long time. Too often I have all but one ingredient in this recipe on my bar, and have mixed many Frankenstein versions of this recipe to much chagrin. This recipe really sings as is. Don’t negotiate with it!

Fav combo: Monkey Shoulder, Cardamaro, Carpano Bianco. Knock out, out of the box recipe, will have again

Might need a big ol’ grapefruit/lemon twist to counter the sweetness of Benedictine, but this simple recipe is great for introducing Benedictine to guests.

Lovely recipe- like a bitter Martinez. For my red Italian apertivo I have St.George Bruto Americano on hand, which is more bitter than Campari or Aperol. Therefore, I used 1/2oz in this recipe and it was still pleasantly bitter. Also Hay man’s Old Tom is my favorite mixing Gin, works beautifully here
