About Monk's Coffee Ingredients

Benedictine: Made by soaking 27 herbs in French brandy, it was originally created in 1510 at a Benedictine monastery in Normandy, France. This herbal liqueur has a strong sweet taste and complex herbal aroma. The alcohol content is 40 degrees.

Coffee: It is better to use bitter coffee for cocktails. Unsweetened deep roast or very deep roast is recommended.

Sugar syrup: A syrup made by dissolving sugar in water and boiling it. Often used in cold cocktails where sugar is difficult to dissolve.
