B & B

This drink is a simple cognac and Benedictine mix that's intended to make your Benedictine sipped neat a little more affordable by cutting it with brandy. You can even buy B & B in the bottle, which is significantly cheaper than a bottle of Benedictine. I went for the bottle of Benedictine knowing that I could always cut it with cognac if I needed to, but that I could also mix it with gin without adding the oak flavor of cognac.

• 1 oz. cognac
• 1 oz. Benedictine 

Pour both ingredients into a snifter and swirl.
