Make Mine a Double

To continue my Brandy experience on the Greek islands here is a little tipple that can introduce you to the smooth delights of Metaxa Brandy. This was shown to us by a local restaurant owner and is a great finish to a romantic meal for two.

Brandy and Benedictine

Take one Brandy glass (very important)
Add a measure of Benedictine
Tilt glass and using a small flame gently warm the Benedictine before allowing it to catch the flame and burn for a few second till the flame is extinguished.
Add a measure of Metaxa Brandy (other Brandy will do)
Sit back and enjoy!

I can picture myself now sat at the restaurant, by the sea with my other half without a care in the world.
