History

Adapted from a recipe created in March 2015 by Julian de Féral of the Gorgeous Group for Culinaire Bazaar, Paris, France.

Inspired by Picasso and the time he spent in Paris, where at the turn of the 20th century he painted one of his most important and influential masterpieces, Les Demoiselles d'Avognon. As well as being fond of absinthe, Picasso painted a cubist interpretation of a Suze bottle. To quote Julian, "the use of rhum agricole draws parallels between the African influence on Picasso and the culture in Caribbean French colonies." Julian's original recipe calls for Barbancourt 8 rhum agricole, Suze and Dolin Blanc.

Review

A dry and angular aperitif with robust flavours of aged rhum agricole and gentian liqueur, lengthened and tamed by dry vermouth with dashes of absinthe.

Boy, you never can tell what a little bit of absinthe will do to a cocktail. This one's delicious; "dry and angular" as noted, but somehow also rich and luscious. The rhum agricole is critical, and just to see what it would be like, I floated a small amount of white Rhum JM on top. Worked for me.

It's like nectar, subtle and pure, I'm a bee and it keeps me coming back for more.

Do you dash using the in built dropper of the La Fée Parisienne absinth?

Was the 15% Suze chosen explicitly vs the 20% version?

I have made the site default to my preferred 20% version so I suspect you are seeing the 15% version due to it being in 'Your Ingredients'? Please let me know if this is not the case so I can look into.
