Stir with ice and a lemon peel. Serve with a lemon twist.
I just bought a bottle of Bénédictine, and I was excited to try it in a cocktail, as I really like it straight. This works well with the vermouth as a aperitif drink.
The absinthe is strangely not that noticeable, even though it usually tends to be one of the first flavor I taste. I might increase it a bit next time, as I do like it quite a lot haha.
Bénédictine is 40%, so overall a fairly low alcohol content (even though there is no juice or mixer). It means it is ok on a Thursday ^^
I'll have to try this! I like Benedictine but it's a bit sweet for me. I like a B&B made at 1:3 or 1:4 ratio.
Also be sure to try out a Vieux Carré with your Benedictine.
Vieux Carré is definitely on my list! I just need to find some creole bitters, or something close enough
I made myself one now, and I can see what you mean about the absinthe, even after I added a little more. I think this is one of those drink where the flavors combine in a way that tastes different than the parts.
I like this a lot, I think I'll be having a lot of these this summer!

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

What proof is the Bénédictine? This looks like a low ABV cocktail but delicious
