The Fort Point is the house drink at the bar Drink (yes, that’s the name of the bar) in Boston. Since I went to a cocktail class with the bartenders from Drink and learned how to make it, it’s been my absolute favorite and my go-to cocktail.
- 2 ounces Rye (I used Bulleit Rye, one of my favorites – note the empty bottle)
- 1/2 ounce Punt E Mes sweet vermouth
- 1/4 ounce Benedictine
Shake vigorously over ice and serve in a cocktail glass. Garnish with Luxardo cherry.
I usually make this with 50% more of each ingredient to fill the glass to the rim 🙂

I made a slight variation of this drink yesterday which turned out quite well. Instead of Punt e Mes, I used Amaro Ramazotti. The drink was a bit drier and more bitter, as you’d imagine, but the Benedictine does a good job balancing it out. Punt e Mes also has a slight bitter aftertaste, but it’s not as strong as the Amaro. A small change of pace to this already great drink.
