Bénédictine

Bénédictine cocktails

Two Benedictine cocktails in this catalog: Vieux Carré (rye, cognac, sweet vermouth) and Singapore Sling (gin, pineapple, cherry brandy).

Benedictine cocktails in this catalog use Bénédictine D.O.M. as a sweet, spiced modifier, not a sipping pour. The stirred drink is the Vieux Carré (rye, cognac, sweet vermouth, a quarter-ounce of Bénédictine, Peychaud’s and Angostura). The long drink is the Singapore Sling (gin, pineapple, cherry brandy, Cointreau, citrus, soda, and Bénédictine). Yellow Chartreuse is a different herbal liqueur — Naked and Famous wants that bottle, not this one. Refrigeration is optional; a small pour goes a long way.

Bénédictine cocktail FAQ

What Benedictine cocktails can I make?

Vieux Carré and Singapore Sling. Those two recipes name Bénédictine. Yellow Chartreuse drinks such as Naked and Famous are a different bottle.

What to mix with Bénédictine tonight?

Rye, cognac, and sweet vermouth for a Vieux Carré, or gin, pineapple juice, and cherry brandy for a Singapore Sling. Benedictine drinks are modifiers: you do not need a full highball of the liqueur.
