History

Rum-laced, herbal, yet delicate with refreshing citrus notes.

From Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide comes the IRRESISTIBLE. This cocktail is shaken and served in a cocktail glass, with a recipe calling for 1-1/2 oz rum, 1/2 oz sweet vermouth, 1/4 oz lemon juice, and 1/4 oz Benedictine. A note suggests substituting 1/4 oz apricot flavored brandy for the Benedictine.
