This classic cocktail puts vermouth in the starring role, adding Bénédictine and absinthe for delicious complexity. If it's a bit too sweet for your liking, try dialing back the Bénédictine a little.

1 oz. Bénédictine

3 dashes absinthe

Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer

Glass: cocktail

Garnish: orange twist

Stir ingredients with ice in a mixing glass untill well chilled. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
