Missing something?
- No rye whiskey? Use Bourbon (Softer and sweeter than rye's spice)
- No rye whiskey? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (A bourbon: softer and sweeter than rye)
- No cognac? Use Brandy (Cognac is a grape brandy; any decent brandy works)
- No sweet vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
- No bénédictine? Use Drambuie (Honeyed like Bénédictine, but whisky-based)
- No bénédictine? Use Yellow Chartreuse (More herbal)
- No peychaud's bitters? Use Angostura Bitters (Spicier; add a drop of absinthe for the anise)
- No angostura bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
