History

Created in 2016 by Maggie Eckl at The Dead Rabbit, New York City, USA. The Artist's Muse is named due to its originally being made with Suze gentian, a brand identified with artists and the arts - a bottle of Suze is depicted in a painting by Pablo Picasso.

Review

Bittersweet and fruity, with complex aromatics from the pisco and strong flavours of gentian liqueur.

Really liked this. Kept the absinthe atomizer handy to give it a refreshing spritz every few sips. Something glorious about the anise aroma combined with peachy Suze! Much more bittersweet and sour than sweet. And the pisco was perfect. El Gobenador Pisco Chileno, Pallini Peachello, Suze, Oregon Spirit Absinthe Original.

Sweet and balanced! Tart, first comes peach then Suze. Would reduce the sugar a bit

I used Bailoni for this instead of the peach liqueur. 5/5. Just perfect 🤩

In my humble opinion Suze is too much dominating the cocktail. I would suggest to use more Pisco and Peachello, reduce Suze and possibly drop the sugar syrup.
