To celebrate the end of the year and the New Year in style, we’re going out of the ordinary with a cocktail made from grass liqueur and bitters served in a stemmed glass worthy of special occasions.


La Bénédiction (champagne and grass liqueur cocktail)

  • 30 ml (1 oz) grass liqueur (Bénédictine or Drambuie), cold
  • 3 dashes of aromatic Angostura bitters
  • 150 ml (5 oz) champagne or dry prosecco, cold
  • 2 juniper berries, halved
  • 1 long lemon zest, 6 inches (15 cm) long, scooped out using the widest part of a zester
