Rolls-Royce Cocktail

We started out the evening going to a "going away party" for Robin and Patrick Evans.  After 2 margaritas - for Bill and 2 Chardonnays for Olga - tonight's cocktail taste was a bit muted perhaps.

I fixed a 'Rolls-Royce' (page 149 in the book):

Recipe:

1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Gin (Booth's)
1/4 tsp Benedictine

Stir with ice and stain into cocktail glass.

We tripled the recipe to make 2 glasses for us.

(I really think I need to find another cocktail glass. The ones we use really spill a lot over the edge!)

I may not make this one again, it was about 5 out of 10 on the Wilson scale.

These are the ingredients used to make the Rolls-Royce

We are leaving in the morning for a week's vacation on the beach near Galveston , Texas.  We'll be there with our daughter, son-in-law, and and 3 grandsons.
Our liquor cabinet may be a bit limited but we'll see what we can do....hopefully we'll be able to access the Internet.

See all of you later.
