B&B By Benedictine is one of the oldest premixed cocktails. In the early 1900s in the US, the B&B cocktail was created blending Benedictine French Liqueur and Brandy. In 1937, the Benedictine company decided to produce this cocktail by blending 60% Benedictine D.O.M. with 40% fine French Brandy, allowing the flavors to rest and harmonize in French oak vats for a warmer, deeper and drier taste.
