Glossary: Benedictine
D.O.M.; benedictine [ben-eh-DIHK-teen] 1. A sweet liqueur named after the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Fecamp, Normandy, who first began making it in 1510. Though the recipe is a closely guarded secret, Benedictine is cognac-based and flavored with various aromatics, fruit peels and herbs. The flavor is a delicate balance of honey, citrus and herbs. The D.O.M. on each bottle stands for Deo Optimo Maximo, the Benedictine dedication 'To God Most Good, Most Great.'
