A true masterpiece of a drink. A portion of it lives on in every other cocktail, to an extent. And the best part? You never get a hangover drinking one of these.
Enjoyed mine with a dash of bokers bitters and replaced the lemon twist with an absinthe mist. Super refreshing and just the thing for an early autumn evening. I call my version the H2 N😱.
Even better with 1/2 oz. soda water. This is my favourite nightcap, and it tastes particularly good just after you have cleaned your teeth - something to do with the peppermint, perhaps?
Made this today (4/1/22) and I must have done something wrong. It seemed a little watered-down. I think I will not stir it with ice as long next time. Or maybe use dry ice? Help.
