Really liked the subtle sweetness. Was afraid it would be a bit too sweet. The mixture of ingredients provides a soft herbal and spicy flavour.
Tried with a spray of absinthe on the top and it was wonderful also. A little more herbal.
I liked this variation on the martini very much. I make my own grenadine and add orange flower water, star anise, cloves, and allspice berries (I remove the whole spices before bottling) and these flavours play nicely with the absinthe (which I increased a bit because I love it). This cocktail has not only a fresh and interesting flavour but a really lovely texture, probably due to that small bit of syrup. Will make again!
