The flavour of this oddball mixture is one of the more unusual things I've tried. Makes me think of orange-licorice candy.

Rated this 4 stars 1st time I tried it, now with bottled pineapple juice I think it's a 4 1/2. Much more balanced, would be good with a luxado cherry garnish

Overly sours and muddles the absinthe. I'm not sure Campari and absinthe were ever meant to meet. Apart, they are fantastic. Together, they compete and make a mess.

If you use Frobishers pineapple juice it's sweeter than fresh and balances out the flavour nicely
