History

A spirit-forward after-dinner drink, offering herbal notes and a refreshing citrus character.

This cocktail, created in 2021 by Susanna McMahon, a 74-year-old grandmother and amateur mixologist, was inspired by her friend Jane, who enjoys B&B and rye but had not tried them together. McMahon said, "This cocktail was created for a very dear lady friend of mine named Jane who adores B&B and rye but had never drunk them together." She added, "Drink to the power of friendship." Her original recipe used 20% larger measures of each ingredient and featured Bénédictine B&B, unlike the current version which uses 50% Bénédictine DOM and cognac.
