I've been out of Benedictine for a while, so I bought a bottle and started to mix. The first one I made was the Oahu Gin Sling from Intoxica. I won't list the recipe here but it was very good. I love rye so I tried the Junior next: 2 oz. rye 1/2 oz. Benedictine 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice dash Angostura bitters Shake w/cracked ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. A good change of pace from a Manhattan if you want a drink with rye.
