Poet's Dream

Poet's Dream: 3/4 ounce gin; 3/4 ounce dry vermouth; 3/4 ounce Benedictine; Garnish: Lemon twist; Stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.; Source: "Old Waldorf Bar Days" by Albert Stevens Crockett (1931)

I first encountered this drink in the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Days (1931), the Poet's Dream cocktail is a beautiful representation of how Benedictine can be represented in a cocktail.
