History

Brandy and Bénédictine (a classic pairing) are smoothed with cream. Drier than anticipated.

This cocktail is believed to have originated in the UK during the late 1970s. Its name is derived from its ingredients: Brandy, Bénédictine, and Cream, rather than the British Broadcasting Company.
