The Cornell Special
It's soon empty, our bottle of Porter's Gin. The second last drink we're using it in had to be a classic. And it works brilliantly in this recipe adapted from Harry Craddock.
Benedictine is an interesting herbal liqueur, and it works really well in gin cocktails. The Cornell Special is a good example of that, especially as it is an equal part recipe so no ingredient overpowers the other.
We've always liked sour cocktails a little bit extra, and with a full fluid ounce, only balanced by the sweetness from the Benedictine, this is certainly a cocktail for us.
