The Pendergast #2 from the book I'm Just Here For The Drinks by Sother Teague.
.5 oz Benedictine
.5 oz whiskey
.75 oz sweet vermouth
.125 oz sherry
3-4 dashes orange bitters
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
The recipe didn't call for sherry - but it called for a specific Kansas City whiskey that adds a certain amount of sherry to their finished whiskey before bottling, so I improvised. Pretty tasty! Make sure you use a sweet vermouth that you really enjoy as it takes center stage here (we used Carpano Antica).
