Kentucky Colonel
A spirit-forward stirred cocktail with bourbon at the center, rounded by Bénédictine's herbal sweetness and a few dashes of bitters. Served up with a lemon twist, it's smooth, aromatic, and elegantly dry.

Cook Notes Summary
The cocktail worked as a solid, enjoyable drink and was worth making again, though it came across as somewhat unexciting. Next time, consider adjusting the balance or adding a more pronounced aromatic or citrus element to give it greater character.
