Today's cocktail was from the book "In the Land of the Cocktails, authored by the proprietors of Commander's Palace in New Orleans. I selected a 'Vieux Carré Cocktail', which was very good, well worth having again.
The recipe:
1 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt)
1 oz Cognac (E&J XO Brandy; not my $50 Cognac)
1 oz Sweet Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 teaspoon Bénédictine
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Combine in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake vigorously and strain into a chilled Martini glass and serve immediately.
I chose to garnish with a twist of lime and a lemon wheel.
