An absinthe rinse to the glass really adds another layer nicely to this cocktail

Enjoyed this on the first really warm evening of May 2024. Swapped the garnish for a slice of blood orange to heighten the sangria effect. Delicious to eat once we got to the bottom of the glass. A proper beginning of summer drink.

Tried this one with Blue Curaçao as I didn't have any other Curacao orange Liqueur. Apart from looking a bit like stirred used motor oil, it does taste better than it looks 😂
