B&B Cocktail Recipe
A cocktail of brandy & Benedictine is called as B&B cocktail. It is one of the icons of fine drinking and is a true classic cocktail. It contains equal quantities of brandy and Benedictine. B&B is often served on the rocks, although some people do prefer it straight.
It is almost always served in a brandy snifter. The manufacturers of Benedictine also make a pre-mixed B&B, which is really good, but there is nothing like choosing ones favorite brandy. Benedictine is made of herbs, roots and sugar with an alcoholic base. One of the best ways to taste the distinct flavors of Benedictine is in a B&B in which the liqueur is mixed with brandy. B&B cocktail is prepared by pouring the Benedictine into a brandy snifter and the back of a bar spoon is used to gently float the brandy on top.
B&B cocktail is a type of Duos and Trios cocktail. It is a family of mixed drinks. A duo contains a base spirit and a liqueur, while a trio additionally contains a creamy ingredient. There is a tremendous variation in the ingredients among the members of this family but the defining feature is that they are sweet due to the liqueur it contains. Some of the commonly used creamy ingredients are cream, creme de cacao, and Irish cream.
One more type of B&B cocktail recipe is the basil and blackberry cocktail recipe. It is served with vodka and Italian sparkling lemonade
