Here in the Albuquerque area we have a number of free newspapers. One is a weekly, another is published every couple of weeks or so and several others are monthly.
The one that comes out every couple of weeks has a column that features a different cocktail in each issue. In the most recent issue, the spiritologist (is that even a word?) was discussing a very 'old' cocktail. I can't remember what he called it, but I found the recipe on line and it was called a Kentucky colonel.
The reason it's an 'old' cocktail is that its origins date back to around the 1920's and 1930's when cocktails were becoming very popular.
It is so very simple - 1.5 ounces of bourbon and 1/2 ounce of Benedictine. The Benedictine has a very nice effect on the bourbon - taking the edge off and making it a smooth little drink. Just combine the two ingredients and pour over ice. Simple, yet effective.
