The Bobby Burns Cocktail

A benediction for Bénédictine

I didn’t mean to do it.

When I wrote Drinking French, there were sooo many interesting French spirits and apéritifs to feature, from Lillet, Byrrh, Suze, Salers, and Dubonnet, to Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Cognac, Calvados, Chartreuse, Armagnac, Pineau de Charentes, etc. that I couldn’t fit them all in.

The book actually ended up being 30% larger than it …
