Benediction

0

A tart, herbal brandy sour built on two monastic liqueurs. Yellow Chartreuse and Bénédictine bring honeyed spice, lemon juice keeps it bright, and a dash of absinthe adds a faint anise note.

Rafa García Febles created the Benediction in New York in 2013, after eGullet user elix suggested a Last Word variation made with Bénédictine. The result ended up closer to a Sidecar or a Widow's Kiss, built from equal parts brandy, Bénédictine, maraschino and lemon.
