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.
So did it with no alterations to proportions (Degroff recipe) and I'm inclined to say my initial suspicion that the spice would bully the other ingredients was right. Still a decent drink but would probably be better if the Becherovka was touched down to 5ml or so.
I've drunk this in the past in Prague, typically in the amusing, but touristy, U Fleku, as accompaniment to their dark beer - ordering 1 and 1, as was their way, it was a long time ago!
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.
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.
