CLASSIC · GIN

Queen Elizabeth

The Bénédictine here acts as a subtle modifier rather than a feature ingredient - at just 8ml it rounds the botanical edges of the gin and softens the austerity of dry vermouth without sweetening the drink.

From the Bartender

The Bénédictine here acts as a subtle modifier rather than a feature ingredient - at just 8ml it rounds the botanical edges of the gin and softens the austerity of dry vermouth without sweetening the drink. Stir with intention: under-dilution will leave the alcohol harsh and the herbal notes closed.
