From famed mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, and named for the bar his cousin owned. You get the sweet, herbal notes of Benedictine, smooth rum, tart lemon, a silky finish, and a touch of orange and cinnamon to top it off.
The Brass Rail
2 oz. Aged Rum
1/2 oz. Benedictine liqueur
1/2 oz. Lemon juice
1/4 oz. Simple syrup
1 Egg white
1-2 dashes Orange bitters

Method...
Add all the ingredients to a shaker tin. Dry shake, then wet shake until chilled. Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with the zest of a flamed orange twist, and a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top.
The Brass Rail Cocktail
The original recipe instructs you to discard the orange twist, but I prefer to keep it. I'm a sucker for a nice garnish!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
