I think there is need some more gin. 30ml would be perfect

No Orgeat so subbed 7.5ml of Disaronno. Will try walnut liqueur. A lovely, refreshing dram.

Okay, so now we have Orgeat. Beautiful elegance, subtlety and balance, as one might expect from the 'other woman'.

Excellent, it's got a pomegranite vibe. A little extra gin doesn't hurt.

I couldn’t quite put my finger on exactly what was familiar about this cocktail, but I think you’ve nailed it! It tastes like there’s fresh pomegranate juice in the mix for sure. I’m about half way through my first one and have realised I completely forgot the absinthe rinse, but why it now when this particular other woman is absolutely pomegranate perfect as she is?

Greetings Nicola. Just an aside. On the Crème de Noyau page Simon says you can approximate the flavor with Amaretto and a splash of pomegranite juice. Works really well in cocktails calling for Crème de Noyau (which I have yet to find).
