Today I’m making two cocktails that just might be better than the martini – the Ford Cocktail and the Rolls Royce (sorry if you came here hoping for car talk). Both are variations on the classic martini offering an extra depth in flavor with the addition of B茅n茅dictine. They’re very similar, yet surprisingly quite different. So how could I not compare these two? Give these two a try and you be the judge – are they better than the martini? Cheers!
