The Monte Carlo is principally a Manhattan that replaces the Manhattan’s candy vermouth with Bénédictine. Bénédictine* is a spiced natural liqueur with further taste notes of honey and licorice. It is the massive daddy to the extra acquainted B&B, a drier model blended with brandy.
I normally make this with Rittenhouse 100. The good factor about these basic whiskey cocktails is they are often simply tailor-made to private tastes with out sacrificing balanced taste. I occur to take pleasure in a bit of spice in my cocktails and the spice notes of the Rittenhouse emphasize the spices of the Bénédictine.
