Story
The darker choice in the original group, Black Lemon uses rye as a sturdy base for bitter artichoke and honeyed herbal liqueurs.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
- Shake until thoroughly chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Garnish with a lemon peel.
Notes
- Start without simple syrup; Bénédictine supplies quite a bit of sweetness.
- The drink lands somewhere between a sour and a bitter Manhattan variation.
