This is one I saw linked on a punch article that @rbwells posted last week, from Daisuke Ito. It’s simple, elegant, and the scotch balances nicely with Bénédictine. I would have this again!

  • 1 oz scotch
  • 1/2 oz Bénédictine
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice

This quantity was good in a Nick and Nora, but I’d double it for a coupe next time.

    What kind of scotch did you use? Is it something peaty or not? I don’t know what Bénédictine tastes like, but I’m guessing NOT peaty.

      Bénédictine is really sweet with some herbal notes, so you’re right: not peaty! I used a blended scotch with medium smoky notes, but I think you have a lot of flexibility with scotches here to get different flavors.
