Today I got up at 5:30am and drive from San Diego to the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills to be exact). Lots of you know this is long drive due to the wonderful traffic through Orange County and LA. Took almost 4 hours. So I worked all day on a network upgrade and got back to my hotel about 9pm. Stressed and tired so I'm having one of my favorite drinks. Had to tell the bartender how to make it (luckily the bar had all the ingredients). It's a Veaux Carré.....yum!

Here you go:
1/2 teaspoon Benedictine
1 dash Peychaud's bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
3/4 ounce rye whiskey
3/4 ounce cognac
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
