Review:

It's surprising what influence just half a barspoon of crème de pêche and a couple of dashes of absinthe has on this subtly flavoured vodka-based Martini.

Isn't eucalyptus oil very poisonous?

You make a good point! I've amended accordingly. Many thanks for bringing to my attention.

A very elegant and demure cocktail, perhaps like Yuliya herself. We didn't have Creme de Peche but we did have Creme de Fraise and thought 'why not?'. Really lovely for us.

Sort of nice but a bit weird. Need to fiddle about a bit.

This is a wonderful cocktail, although I did struggle to detect much of the peach over the absinthe. I'd like to try it again with 1 dash absinthe and perhaps a touch more peach and Cocchi.

Had this again today with hors d'oeuvres and it was perfect. The absinthe and Cocci work perfectly to create a herbal flavour with an after taste of peach.
Since it is a smaller cocktail, we made a triple recipe for two cocktails and put them into a coupe glass.

The ingredients seems a bit odd, but they all work together. Once it has a chance to relax and breathe, you can taste the hint of peach more than when the cocktail is freshly made. It is a small drink so plan accordingly.
