History

Adapted from a cocktail made for me in September 2022 by Nate at Lulu White bar in Paris, France. Nate used a blend of light white rum and Clarin Communal Rum telling me this funky rum was key to balancing the huge favours of the absinthe. In an effort to keep my back bar in check, I used rhum blanc agricol for my funk.

Agreed. I’ve increased the measures by 1.5 times to add much need volume.

Still found it a bit sweet. Added some daiquiri bitters, but would consider leaving out the sugar syrup entirely if I wanted a more sour cocktail. I would have used Clarin, but my bottle is getting low and it is hard to get here in San Diego.

It's a pretty small drink. We doubled everything, which takes it to only two standard drinks. A lovely, beautifully balanced daquiri.

Anything with rhum Agricole and Absinthe is perfect for me. This is amazing. Nicely tart with the wonderful tastes of the rum/rhum. The absinthe adds exotic herbal hints.
