Nice. The absinthe compliments the lime and gin. I personally would use a heavy tsp.

The first bottle of alcohol I bought on my 21st birthday was Pernod. I have loved Absinthe since then and was very excited when the original recipe was available again to purchase.
I thought this cocktail was outstanding. I would consider putting in more Absinthe, but that is just me. It is perfect the way is it written. This would be a great cocktail for someone new to Absinthe.

Next time I will try it with half of the absinthe recommended.

Thanks, Alberto. I tried with 7.5ml (1/4oz), as you suggested, but I preferred with a tad less absinthe and have amended the recipe above accordingly. Many thanks for leading me to revisit this cocktail.
