1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Sundays ago, Andrea and I ventured over to Green Street for drinks. For a start, I asked bartender Philip MacLeod for the Frisco (Sour), one of my old favorites from the early Eastern Standard menu. The original Frisco was a whiskey drink sweetened and spiced with Benedictine akin to a Rusty Nail, and later lemon juice was added to balance the drink out. It also seemed appropriate to return to this drink at Green Street, for it was there that I was introduced to the Junior -- a Frisco Sour with the lemon juice swapped out for lime juice and Angostura Bitters.

I'll have to try a few of those variations. They appear to be close relatives of the Honeymoon Cocktail, which is a fantastic drink.
True, with split citrus. I had a Honeymoon when one of the bars in town was working their way through Ted Haigh's book, two drinks each week.
