The original recipe is also very enjoyable: more straightforward and, with good ingredients, a wonderful rich step back in time to flavour. Used manzanilla as it was to hand.

Lacking the suggested caperberry garnish I tried fresh chamomile flowers, but didn’t quite work. Drink is layered and complex. Easy to overdo the absinthe, as elsewhere. There’s a lot going on here with the salty, sweet, fruity, botanical, dry and bitter flavours each taking their turn to present themselves. Seems like quite a busy congregation.
