B&B cocktail

B&B Cocktail Recipe with Ingredients and Instructions

The B&B cocktail, short for Brandy and Benedictine, is a classic two-ingredient after-dinner drink built for slow sipping. Cognac or brandy gives the base warmth and oak, while Benedictine adds honeyed sweetness, herbs, and gentle bitterness. Serve it neat or over ice when you want a simple digestif with more depth than the recipe suggests.

Build at a glance

This version uses 2 ingredients across 2 steps. For a home bar, that makes it straightforward rather than fussy.

What to expect

Expect sweet, bitter, and herby notes. Served in a Rocks Glass, the drink lands spirit-forward and more evening-leaning and keeps its structure clear.

Best moment

This style fits after-dinner pours and slower evening rounds. If you already enjoy Liqueur cocktails, it is an easy recipe to keep in rotation.
