Excellent. As someone below said, bitter, then sweet, then a lingering strawberry aftertaste. Great stuff. Made with half Hampden Estate HLCF and half Diplomatico as the former is… punchy. Agree the absinthe really adds something.

Excellent! With Hampden dok and fresh strawberries make me feel like in heaven.

Delicious. Use Wray & Nephew overproof. I didn't have strawberry syrup so I used some strawberry-infused vodka I had on hand. As I tend to like my cocktails a bit drier than some recipes here, it worked. The absinthe is a nice touch.

Very unique taste! It seems bitter then a tad sweet. Very interesting play of the senses with this cocktail!

Interesting, intense drink. Reminds me a little of a Jungle Bird. The automated brand suggestion here was Hamilton 151 for some reason, so I went with it. I'm seeing 15 ml for the Campari measure on other websites, not to mention a wide variety of rum suggestions. I will be playing with this drink for awhile. I do agree, the absinthe ought to be in this.

Is it still good without absinthe?

Good but not nearly as good.

This was a wonderful drink. Strawberries are just coming into season in Southern California and had to make this. Went wonderfully with a cold lunch on a unusually warm February afternoon.
