Prince of Wales

A bright, bubbly Champagne cocktail that balances warm Cognac and honeyed, herbaceous Bénédictine with a hint of bitters and sugar. It presents as a tall, effervescent drink with a single large ice cube, an orange wedge and a cherry, and a subtle layered float of liqueur on top. Worth ordering if you want a celebratory, slightly sweet yet spirit-led aperitif that’s easy to make but feels special.

  • 0.25 oz Bénédictine® Herbal Liqueur
