History

The creator of this cocktail advises that "A scotch with some backbone, such as Johnnie Walker Black, is required to stand up to the arrack." Nevertheless, it might be advisable to slightly reduce the amount of arrack and increase the Bénédictine proportionally, perhaps to 10ml (1/3oz) of each.

This drink was developed in 2022 by J. E. Clapham, who is associated with Clapham Cocktails.
