Due to a neighbor moving overseas and leaving his rather strange liquor collection behind, I ended up with several bottles I just stare at and make me scratch my head.
One is a bottle of Dom Benedictine B&B, a blend of Benedictine and brandy, so I swapped it in to replace the pure Benedictine in a Loni Honi. And it turned out really, really well. I think the relative dryness of the B&B really turned this into a great hot weather sipper, really bringing out the honey notes.
Normally shaken with ice cubes and strained into a wine goblet, topped off with crushed ice. I found that small stemless wine glasses worked perfectly.
1.5 oz Benedictine (or B&B if you want to try this version)
1 oz light rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
1/2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
Technically a tiki drink per Beachbum Berry, this slight variation really reminded me of a slightly-rummy mead. A very quick and simple crowd pleaser. With 3 ounces of >80 abv booze, this one will sneak up on you, too, since it's a really easy sipper.
