The historical origins of B&B By Bénédictine, one of the oldest premixed cocktails, date back to the 1930s during Prohibition in the United States. It was at Club 21 in Manhattan where a barman invented the idea of combining brandy with a rich and aromatic blend of 60% Bénédictine and 40% fine French Brandy. This unique blend is then aged in vintage French oak barrels, previously used solely for aging the highest quality cognacs, allowing for the flavors to meld together and reach a perfect balance.
