so is the morning wood goin to give guys a morning wood?…
No, just your mom
I would just like to take the opportunity to compliment DEVIATOR on his amazing drink, the GOLDEN BRANCADICTINE – which should win based on name alone (though yes, there is stiff competition with Morning Wood.)
But who knew you could mix Fernet & Benedictine and not wretch?
Truly brilliant.
If making the BBTart without B&B, use 2 oz Brandy, 1.5 oz Benedictine. That’s the semi-official original and Gabe translated it for me to B&B. If you don’t trust his translation (which you usually should), or it doesn’t come out right, try this way instead. But if you’re not a hardcore Benedictine fan (like me), you might want to drop off about a quarter ounce of it. Just my thoughts, for whatever the hell I think they’re worth.
I wish I could have tried more than the one drink that made it onto this list, as I do enjoy the Benedictine!
