This
cocktail recipe from Food & Wine arrived in my email this morning and
actually looks really good.
I’m not a great one for cocktails (although I do appreciate their
art and science), but I think the combination of scotch, Bénédictine,
bitters and lemon would be great and it’s both elegant and simple.
The name Monaco Friar is terrible, though. I suggest Monaco Fear, which is also pretty awful, but begins to find the right track, I think.
Monaco Friar
Contributed by Anthony Schmidt
One of Anthony Schmidt’s favorite drinks is the Monaco Friar. “I
love how the honey and herbal qualities of the Bénédictine pair with a fine
Scotch,” he says. “It’s a perfect drink during the colder months.”
1. Ice
2. 2
ounces Scotch
3. 1/2
ounce Bénédictine
(brandy-based herbal liqueur)
4. 3
dashes of Angostura bitters
5. 1 lemon
twist, for garnish
Fill a chilled rocks glass
with ice. Add the Scotch, Bénédictine and bitters; stir well. Garnish with the
lemon twist.
