Neptune's Wrath
Last Word-like with egg-white smoothing the way for a noticeable slug of absinthe

A pleasant surprise! I made this with aquafaba since I had some in the fridge. The Last Word is one of my favourites but wasn't expecting too much from this but it's very pleasant, much more accessible than the LW, too.

Hi Simon, if I use Rutte Old Simon Genever instead of London Dry Gin, should I omit the sugar syrup? I've heard people say Genever is sweeter than Gin.

This is the go-to for making people understand how good absinthe can be. This utterly transforms absinthe and it's spectacular.

Hi Simon,
Isn’t it the opposite, dry shake then with ice?
What kind of gin is better? I mean flavoured one can be used?
Thanks

I've added a link to a page explaining the dry shake above. I use Hayman's London Dry Gin (41.2 alc./vol.). Look for a classic London Dry style gin, ideally 41% to 43% alc./vol..

Tried to substitute Absinthe with double the amount of Galliano (15 ml), as the flavor profile would fit IMO. Liked the result.

Navy (114 proof), chartreuse (110 proof), lucid absinthe (124 proof) - this one has a bit of a kick. But…it’s SO delicious. I imagine Neptune shaking his trident in warning!

This drink looks and tastes unique. It’s a great party drink when you want to give guests something different. Quite tasty too.
