The Brass Rail is a creation of mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, who named it for a bar owned by a Bénédictine-loving cousin of his.
It’s a wonderful showcase for the sweet, herbal, honeyed flavors of Bénédictine, with white rum and lemon juice providing a backbone. Orange bitters are essential; we like to give the drink an extra spritz from an atomizer filled with orange bitters before serving.
