This is one of the greats. However I was out of falernum… so I used a splash of cinnamon syrup and a splash of pimento dram. Next level. Awesome.

I followed Simons suggestion and added 1 cl sugar syrup. With my marmalade Wikin & Sons "Old Times" raising the marmalade and reducing the bitters would be worth a try. Maybe using Angostura Orange Bitters could give a nice twist?

Being both an absinthe and a rum lover this was perfect for a Brunch. Since I am not overly fond of light rums, did mix the light with a gold overproof rum. Everything works perfectly in the cocktail. Nicely sour, but not noticeably.

Fantastically balanced cocktail, with the absinthe adding a nice complexity. I had to go quite a bit heavier on the Orange Marmalade to get what I would consider a balanced taste though. As is my custom when trying a new recipe, I made a double and drank the first glass exactly as-is. It was very good, but thought it tasted a bit rough around the edges - so I added an additional serving of orange marmalade to the remainder. That balanced it nicely.

Even though I have Bacardi Carta Blanca light rum in my ingredients, the recipe in the You Can Make section says I don't (it's in red with an x)

The absinthe in the background adds another dimension, loved this and surprisingly refreshing
