A classic cocktail made with blended whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters, known for its smooth, herbal flavor profile.
Yes, rye whiskey or bourbon works well as alternatives to blended whiskey, though they will alter the drink's character slightly.
Angostura bitters is the standard choice; a single dash is sufficient to balance the drink without overpowering it.
Stir the cocktail with ice for 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute it slightly, then strain into a chilled glass.
Serve in a coupe, Nick & Nora, or cocktail glass, optionally garnished with a cherry or lemon twist.
