“After the first glass of absinthe you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world."

Mysterious Mixing Liqueur: Benedictine D.O.M.

06/05/2012

1 Comment

 
Benedictine is a cognac based liqueur made of herbs and roots. The original recipe was created to revive tired Benedictine monks in the 16th century. This French liqueur calls for twenty seven herbs and spices and allegedly only three people know the complete recipe for making the blend.

In the 19th century Alexander Le Grand recreated the elixir with the help of a local chemist. He began to sell the liqueur commercially under the name Benedictine. The brand was sold to Martini and Rossi and eventually Bacardi.
