I want to get me hands on Benedictine to make this drink!!

I absolutely love the Vieux Carre, but my preferred spec dials down the benedictine to a barspoon floated on top (its quite sweet, and you really want it for the aroma more than anything, IMO).

If you can get real Maraschino cherries, they make a killer garnish.

1. it is a very interesting drink and is a delicious one at that, but…
2. …it does not taste like coffee. So if a coffee drink seems not up your alley that’s okay. It’s more of a much more floral Manhattan.

I love this drink (honestly I love most cocktails with Benedictine).

Read that too quickly. Thought it said Bactine.
