Review

Reminiscent of a Sazerac but with gin and triple sec. Delicate, remarkably fruity and very sippable.

Like many cocktail recipes using absinthe, this seems very wasteful of the green fairy! I kept the full 10ml of absinthe and diluted with wet ice, cocktail was good but definitely absinthe forward. Next time I'll try 5ml and again keep all of it and shake (not stir) with ice. Will update.

And…it’s pink! LOVE pink! Peychaud’s always imparts the most lovely tint.
