What are you drinking right now?

Haven’t tried, but I suspect B&B might even be better, with more of the brandy component… and less of the Benedictine.

Nice...

I also liked soaking in some of the local art.

Is there a way to make something similar to a vieux carre without having to get a whole bottle of benedictine?

Depends what else you have on your bar. You only use a small amount but still want to stick with a liqueur that has subtle characteristics. I'm thinking Drambuie, Licor 43, perhaps Italicus, for example. Or you can just forget the liqueur and use simple syrup to add sweetener.

If you get the Benedictine you can also make Singapore Slings.

Indeed. And it's a nice sweetener for many other drinks. A daily go-to for me in the summer is an espresso and tonic, and I'll frequently add a splash of Benedictine or Italicus.
