Ingredients
- 45 ml Blended Scotch e.g. Johnnie Walker, Famous Grouse
- 45 ml Sweet vermouth e.g. Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino
- 7.5 ml Bénédictine
- Garnish Lemon peel
Preparation
- Stir all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with lemon peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
