ABOUT
This cocktail dates back to 1977 where it was published in Stanley Jones’ Complete Barguide. This wet martini leans into herbal complexity with Bénédictine and Cointreau adding depth to the classic gin and vermouth base. The bitters round it out with a touch of spice and citrus. Cheers y’all!
