Sweet herbal liqueur

Bottle of sweet herbal liqueur for cocktail recipes

Recipes that call for sweet herbal liqueur are often referring to Bénédictine, a cognac-based liqueur with an herbal, slightly sweet flavor. Less-commonly, recipes may call for for Jägermeister, Becherovka, or another local favorite – we’ll call out the specifics in recipe notes, and let you know appropriate substitutes.

If you happen to be lucky enough to live in an area where your neighborhood monks still make sweetened liqueurs from the herbs and flowers around the monastery, you can (and absolutely should!) try those local variations in any of the recipes listed here.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
