Stupendously refreshing... so much so, I could barely register the alcohol in this (I used La Fée Parisiene) which is kinda insane for an absinthe cocktail! *falls over*

Very nice! Used Vieux Carre absinthe verte. Tastes a bit like a facial scrub cream, but it's quite enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and make again. (18 Feb 2022, 1:36p)
