Benny & Hot

Cocktail Description

A Benny & Hot is the spiritual cousin of the classic hot toddy, reimagined with the complex herbal richness of Bénédictine, creating a warming elixir that feels like a medieval monk's secret remedy for winter chills.

This simple two-ingredient cocktail delivers surprising complexity thanks to Bénédictine's blend of 27 herbs and spices, offering notes of honey, citrus, and warm baking spices that bloom beautifully when hit with boiling water. Remarkably easy to prepare—just pour and stir—it's perfect for chilly evenings when you want something soothing yet sophisticated. The Benny & Hot makes an excellent nightcap or fireside companion during the colder months, though it also works wonderfully as a restorative drink when feeling under the weather. Its gentle sweetness and herbal character pair nicely with desserts featuring honey or spices, like poached pears or gingerbread, while the warm aromatics can also complement savory dishes such as roasted game or aged cheeses.
