So pretty, very refreshing and far too easy to knock back!

It's funky because here in France we traditionnaly use pastis instead of absinthe in the mauresque and absinthe instead of pastis in the momisette.
You can also swap the orgeat for grenadine syrup (we call this a "Tomate") or even for mint syrup ("Perroquet").

Great, but you must like absinthe. I did find the 1:1 with the orgeat was a bit sweet. Would consider backing off on the orgeat or adding a bit more absinthe. Use 5:1 water which was perfect. May consider 1/2 orgeat and 1/2 amaretto.

Thanks John. Agreed, 1:1 was too sweet so I've amended the recipe above accordingly. Making it again, I was reminded what a great summer's afternoon drink this can be.
