The drink was produced by monks until the 18th century. During the French Revolution, the secret recipe was almost lost, but was discovered by Alexandre Le Grand in 1863 who decided to re-create the mysterious liqueur. This can be drunk with ice before a meal, or afterwards, as a digestive. B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine is also often used as a base for numerous cocktails.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.france.fr\/en\/information\/gastronomy-and-drinks-normandy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
