It's a Daiquiri with monastic Bénédictine and decadent absinthe influences. Perhaps it's the saffron in the Bénédictine or the anise in the absinthe-but...
Used Pastis in place of the absinthe and had to cut the lime by half (a consistent issue for me and citrus juice) but enjoy the blend of the Benedictine and Pastis.
Always interesting what Bénédictine brings to the table. Thank God it's not the Last Supper! Praying for more 'cause it's really good!...and with all humility, thank you to the unknowable.
Very interesting outcome: 2,25cl Benedictine and 0,25 cl Absinthe result in a very tasty cocktail which has undoubtedly a slight taste of banana. This reminds me of the "Apple fool" cocktail.
It is rewarding to play with the amounts of Benedictine and Absinthe to find the personal optimum. According to my taste one should be careful with absinthe and generous with Benedictine.
This is delicious and on the large side. So much herbaceous, limey flavour. This is going in my hard copy note book in case the internet is ever broken :-D
