Dry vermouth carries almost the entire drink here, sweetened and herbed with Benedictine and lifted with a real dash of absinthe. That all-fortified-wine base makes it unusually gentle for a stirred cocktail, more aperitif than nightcap. The Benedictine's honeyed spice and absinthe's anise lift give it real complexity despite its low alcohol content. A great option for anyone who wants a sophisticated cocktail without much of a kick.
