From the Bartender

The B&B name traditionally refers to Brandy and Benedictine, but this Kentucky riff swaps cognac for bourbon, lending a sweeter, corn-driven backbone that plays beautifully against Benedictine's 27 herbal botanicals. No ice, no dilution - the integrity of both ingredients is best appreciated neat in a wide-mouthed snifter that allows the aromatics to fully open.

Rich and warming, with the smoky, malty depth of Scotch meeting the honeyed sweetness and herbal complexity of Drambuie. A whisper of citrus from the lemon zest lifts the finish and keeps it bright.

Spirit-forward and warming, with rich bourbon at its core, balanced by subtle caramel sweetness and the aromatic spice of bitters. Fragrant citrus oils from the orange peel add a bright, floral lift, while the finish is smooth, gently bitter, and deeply satisfying.

Sol Y Sombra

A bold, spirit-forward marriage of warming brandy and sweet anisette delivers an aromatic rush of black licorice and star anise, with honeyed richness giving way to a herbal, gently spiced finish that lingers long on the palate.

Vodka

Godmother

A smooth, sweet embrace of almond and marzipan warmth from the amaretto melds seamlessly with clean vodka, creating a rich yet dangerously drinkable sipper with a lingering nutty sweetness and a gentle warming finish.
