grandpa's drunk

1 oz Pierre Ferrand Cognac
1 oz Crème de Cacao
1 oz Benedictine
1 dash Molé Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a single Old Fashioned glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Mondays ago, Andrea and I stopped by Trina's Starlite Lounge for dinner. For a drink, I asked bartender Isaac Sussman for the Grandpa's Drunk. Once mixed, the cocktail offered bright orange oil aromas over darker ones from perhaps the crème de cacao. Next, the sip offered a rich, sweet, and roasty combination, and the swallow merged the brandy with chocolate and Benedictine's minty-herbal flavors. Overall, the drink was a bit on the sweet side in the dessert style of things, so perhaps toning the recipe down to 2 oz of Cognac and 1/2 oz of each of the liqueurs might help.
