I am an outspoken fan of equal parts cocktails, so I love it. A spray of absinthe on the finished cocktail and some drops of saline solution gives a nice touch.

I quite liked it! Did 0.25 oz less lemon juice and triple sec, and it was perfect.

I tried this with Pierre Ferrand's dry curacao and for this cocktail the triple sec probably works better. This drink wants to be light and bright, and the cognac brings it all down a peg. Despite that, it's lovely. It's floral and tart just like you want a spring drink to be. The elderflower is maybe a bit too forward but overall it's really good.

I didn't have a London-style gin (used my fave South Australian Applewood standard gin) and subbed lime for the lemon (my preference). I use Cointreau. Still absolutely delicious. Loved the ratios and found the 2.5ml Absinthe was perfect. In fact am sharing this recipe far and wide.👌

Looking at the recipe, it sounds great, but it misses the mark for me. My first thought—immediately—was that this would be better with tequila resposado; the gin is lost in it. It’s very sweet forward, and I don’t like how the triple sec and St. Germaine blend. I think it would better with (either) one on its own. The lemon comes through after, but not enough. The absinthe is completely lost in it, and absinthe is not an easy flavour to lose. I’ll give it 3 stars, but I won’t make it again.

I like it but the lemon seems to overpour the drink. Expected it to be a little more complex - might try .5 oz of lemon next time.

Awesome possum!

A real favourite of mine. I wouldn't change a thing!
