Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use fresh lemon juice only—bottled degrades the herbal balance that defines this drink.
Chill your glass before serving; the Honeymoon cocktail is spirit-forward and warms quickly.
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to properly chill and dilute, integrating the Benedictine's herbal notes.

Substitutions

Benedictine → Chartreuse Yellow (more vegetal; use 1/2 oz to avoid overpowering)
Mr. Boston Apple Brandy → Calvados (drier, French apple brandy with similar structure)
Mr. Boston Triple Sec → Cointreau (higher quality; use same measure)
