The Tawny Monk

The Tawny Monk

Kelly Allen

Monkish and cozy, this is a cocktail for sipping over a good book on a chilly autumn evening.  Tawny port adds rounded acidity and oxidative angularity, while Benedictine and dry curaçao bring docile spice and volatile citrus: late-season flavors without being too pushy.  

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz tawny port
  • ¾ oz Benedictine 
  • ⅓ oz cognac
  • ⅓ oz dry curaçao
  • Orange rind, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Combine the port, Benedictine, cognac, and dry curaçao in a shaker over ice.  Stir until chilled.  

  2. Strain into a rocks glass over ice and garnish with the orange rind.
