Sip into Sophistication: The Timeless Frisco Cocktail

A Recipe Steeped in History

The Frisco, a Prohibition-era cocktail, exudes classic lounge glamour with only two ingredients: rye whiskey and Bénédictine D.O.M., an ancient herbal liqueur infused with a secret blend of aromatics. This potent pairing yields a drink that’s both sweet and mysterious.

The Perfect Balance

Bénédictine, originally crafted by monks, brings a subtle yet intriguing flavor profile to the Frisco. When combined with rye whiskey, the result is a harmonious balance of flavors. The addition of a lemon-peel garnish provides a refreshing twist, while a squeeze of lemon juice transforms the drink into a Frisco Sour.

Experiment with Variations

For those who prefer a slightly sweeter flavor, bourbon can be substituted for rye whiskey in the Frisco Sour. Whiskey enthusiasts may also enjoy exploring other classic cocktails, such as the Whiskey Sour, Sazerac, and Vieux Carré.
