This cocktail will not be one of our favourites. Possibly my new "Tabu" Absinthe, which seems not to be so easy to use in cocktails, is part of the problem. I tend to the measurements of the original recipe, maybe with a bit of additional dilution.
From cabinet necessity, I subbed in Grand Marnier and have to say I was pleased by the result. It steered a bit closer to a Sidecar that way, which in my mind is not a bad thing.
Well, for us, even without the froth, this is closer to a Sour than is the irreproachable good lady. We might throw in a bit of egg white next time, just to nudge it even c.oser. The absinthe was certainly up our street.
