Alcoholic Cocktail Cordial or Sherry Glass 2 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1/2 oz Brandy
  • 1/2 oz Benedictine

Instructions

Pour the Benedictine into a cordial glass, and gently pour the brandy over the back of a bar spoon and let it fall on top of the Benedictine to 'float' it on the thicker liqueur. Optional: Traditionally served warm, you can pre-warm the glass by pouring a little hot water in the glass, swirl it around, then discard. Though it's not the traditional way to serve it, some people prefer this cocktail over ice. For this version, simply add a couple of cocktail ice cubes to a rocks glass, and then add the spirits.

About B And B

The B and B cocktail is a classic, simple drink made with equal parts of brandy and Bénédictine, typically 1/2 ounce of each. The preparation involves pouring the Bénédictine into a cordial glass and then layering the brandy on top. The drink is known for its smooth, slightly sweet taste, with the brandy providing a rich base and the Bénédictine adding herbal and sweet notes. It's usually served in a cordial glass without garnish, offering a straightforward yet sophisticated drinking experience. This cocktail is appreciated for its balanced flavors and smooth finish, making it a popular choice for a relaxing evening or as a refined nightcap​.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Cordial or Sherry Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
