This is a flavorful, interesting drink. The absinthe might be at its threshold - it definitely looms large over the overall taste, but I wouldn't go over the measure. In fact, I'd recommend maybe doing a spray (one) rather than a measured amount... It's a pity I don't have citrus on hand at the moment, because a spritz of lemon oil might take this over the top... Getting rid of an old (chilled) bottle of PX, so that's why I tried this. But I'd make it again, oh yes. (28 Sep 2022, 5:30a)
