Bénédictine was first made by Benedictine monks in Normandy in 1510. The recipe was rediscovered in 1863, by a wine merchant named Alexandre Le Grand who discovered it in a book and relaunched the now liqueur. Made with 27 herbs and spices, Bénédictine is essential for making mainstays like the Vieux Carré and the B&B. (Bénédictine & Brandy)
