OMG, this is outstanding. Although I am a big rum drinker, Pernod was my first bottle of alcohol I bought. Back then it was not true absinthe, but I fell in love with it. While I have the absinthe spoon to do the drip method, this is so much quicker with similar results.
You must love absinthe for this cocktail, if not, do not even try. It is very easy to drink (way too easy), but so wonderful with the flavour of absinthe and nothing else to interfere.

Really interesting, I bought my first bottle of absinthe (Pacifique) around 12 years ago and it also happened to be my first bottle of alcohol! I've just recently delved into cocktail creation and have really been enjoying myself.

After trying a few dozen of the classics I'm realizing I really love rum as well, it's absolutely my current favorite (I thought I loved whiskey, but that's dropped quite a bit lower on the scale of spirits these days.)

Seems like we have a similar palette. Cheers to a fellow absinthe lover!

I tried a snit with this cube method yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. My only issue with drinking absinthe is that I love sipping it slowly, so it tends to warm up quickly. Adding good, hard cubes that melt slowly really extended the enjoyment (St. George's this time).
