Cocktail Description
The Tip Top Cocktail is a contemplative elixir that bridges centuries of monastic tradition with modern cocktail craftsmanship.
This sophisticated sipper combines the botanical complexity of dry vermouth with the honeyed, herbal notes of Bénédictine, a liqueur created by French monks in the 16th century. The addition of Angostura bitters provides depth and balance, while the expressed oils from a lemon twist brighten the drink with citrus aromatics. Simple to prepare with just a mixing glass and bar spoon, this stirred cocktail requires no elaborate techniques, making it accessible for home bartenders. The Tip Top Cocktail works beautifully as an aperitif before a rich dinner or as an evening nightcap during quiet moments of reflection. Its herbaceous character pairs wonderfully with charcuterie, aged cheeses, or simple desserts featuring honey or nuts. Consider serving this elegant coupe cocktail at intimate gatherings where conversation flows as smoothly as the drink itself.
