Tried this after a Difford's Daiquiri - its quite nice and on a hot summers afternoon I think I would appreciate it more.
But, with only one thin slice of cucumber. The two thin slices I used I found overwhelmed the drink.
I rather liked the discarded (seriously that will never happen) absinthe side drink.

Refreshing perfection! But I shall cheat and pour the swirled absinthe into a shot glass, add a pinch of sugar and a splash of ice water, and call it the appetizer.

Absolutely no freaking way I'm doing all that, Ima spritz that thing and call it a day.

This is surprisingly elegant. Shame that my bottle of absinthe may go down the drain...

Indeed outstanding. I used 30 ml Jamaica white rum Kingston 62 and 30 ml Havana Club 3 yr

What an outstanding, cooling summertime cocktail. It would be perfect any time of the day. The mint, absinthe, and cucumber add herbal tastes that are well balanced. The lime juice gives it a nice citrus edge.
This would be perfect at a brunch or on a warm afternoon.
