The B and B was created in the 1930s at the 21 Club in New York as a simpler way to enjoy the classic pairing of brandy and Bénédictine. The name stands for Brandy and Bénédictine. It became so popular that by 1937, the Bénédictine company began producing their own pre-mixed B&B liqueur, which outsells the original Bénédictine in the United States.
