Made in honor of the latest how to drink (though this is the traditional recipe, not the one on that episode)

0.5 Benedictine 0.5 rye 0.5 cognac 0.5 sweet vermouth

2 dashes each peychouds and angostura

Stirred, up

Very interesting drink. Almost tastes like coffee.

I absolutely love the Vieux Carre, but my preferred spec dials down the benedictine to a barspoon floated on top (its quite sweet, and you really want it for the aroma more than anything, IMO).

If you can get real Maraschino cherries, they make a killer garnish.
