If a cold cocktail can be warming, then with its generous rye whiskey and ginger liqueur, this is such a cocktail.

Complex, well balanced and dryish. Lovely.

Spirited cocktail with a wonderful punch of rye. Our rye was at 118 proof. Worked perfectly. Great balance of sweetness and bitterness. Absinthe added a wonderful herbal touch.
