A little too sweet. Need to tone down the sweet ratios. Other than that the drink was good.

Yum! Like a Sazerac Manhattan. I liked this recipe exactly as written and had two this evening.

Fabulous but be careful with the absinthe as too much will overwhelm the cocktail and ruin the balance. I used Bulleit Rye but I expect a more traditional higher alcohols content rye such as Rittenhouse would be even better.

This was a tad too sweet for me. I think somewhere between the #1 version and this would be perfect. Maybe 1.5oz of the rye and 0.5oz of the vermouth?

Reminiscent of the Sazerac with more absinthe forward notes complementing the caramel and cardamom Benedictine. The 1/2 oz of Benedictine is a good level of sweetness without making the drink too sweet or boozy. This one is right where I like it.

Wonderful! A solid amount of absinthe that is distinctive, but not overpowering. Great Sazarac flavors enhanced and extended by the vermouth. This amount of Benedictine is just right.

Enigmatic and well-balanced. I bought a tiny bottle of absinthe to experiment with, and this is definitely the best thing I've tried with it.
