Derby

Benedictine is one of those products which often is gathering dust at most bars across the country. Typically they will even have just a bottle of "B&B" instead of Benedictine, which only shows that they don't really know how to use this product. So I am always on the lookout for great cocktails which can illustrate the value that Benedictine can bring to a drink. There are a few different cocktails going by the name of "Derby", but the version I show here is one which I think is an excellent drink to introduce people to the potential that Benedictine provides.

Derby: 2 ounces bourbon whiskey; 1/4 ounce Benedictine; 1 dash Angostura Bitters; Garnish: Lemon peel; Stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
