Snifter Glass

Glass Guide- Snifter Glass

B&B, or brandy & Benedictine. It's one of the icons of fine drinking and is a true classic cocktail. Often, a B&B is served on the rocks, although some prefer it straight up. One thing is for sure, it is almost always served in a brandy snifter. The producers of Benedictine also make a pre-mixed B&B, which is really good, but there's nothing like choosing your favorite brandy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Benedictine
  • 1 oz brandy

Preparation:

  1. Pour the Benedictine into a brandy snifter.
  2. Use the back of a bar spoon to gently float the brandy on top.

Heavenly drink, Member JohnRowan

This is one of the classic drinks, with a uniquely delicious flavour. I defy anyone not to like it. It is not easily available in the shops, but you can easily make it yourself. Just ignore the advice to float it over a spoon - really the two ingredients have to be well mixed. No ice.
