Story
You initially suggested this as a rocks drink, but we pivoted to serving it up to emphasize the viscous mouthfeel of the Bénédictine. I asked how the drink would change in a coupe, which led to a refined “over-shake” workflow that provides micro-dilution without the presence of ice.
Method
- Combine ingredients in a shaker.
- Shake for a full 15 seconds (over-shake) to ensure the heavy liqueur is properly diluted and chilled.
- Fine-strain into a chilled coupe.
- Express the oils of a lime peel over the surface and discard.
Notes
- Serving up makes it significantly more aromatic and intense than the rocks version — the trade-off is rapid warming, so drink it cold.
