Creole Cocktail

By , About.com Guide

The Creole Cocktail is another timeless favorite I came across in the 1939 edition of W.C. Whitfield's Just Cocktails. The ratio is similar to that original recipe, with a few tweaks and some adjustment to get the quantity up to a modern sized cocktail. With the bourbon and vermouth one would think it is like a Manhattan, which it is, but it is the Benedictine that sets the Creole Cocktail apart, bringing in an herbal sweetness that takes the taste to a different level.
