Joy Division
A 2:1 Dry Martini with a slug of triple sec and dashes of absinthe contributing zesty orange and subtle aniseed respectively

On a whim swapped the triple sec for italicus at double quantity, one dash orange bitters and lemon twist. Not bad.

And then mad properly to spec. Wonderfully subtle herbal and citrus flavours. A new favourite I suspect! Needs a light touch with absinthe.

I made it with Uncle Val's Botanical, Dolin, Cointreau, Grande Absente. Quite interesting and very good, though next time I will use a different gin--Val's tends to overpower.
Might dial the Cointreau back, also.

This is such a great drink. I use Plymouth and Noilly Prat extra dry.

My local booze mart was out of Noilly, or I would have used it also.

Too strong for my friend (he may work on a building site but he's a martini wuss) so I added two dashes of orange bitters and miraculously made it palatable for him. And I must admit, it added a delicious dimension to this fav of mine.

What a great cocktail! Really enjoyed this one. Made it a second time w/ Dolin (dry) vermouth and enjoyed it even more. 4:2:1 ratio perfect and the absinthe does not overpower.

Perfect aperitif. Light hint of orange and the wonderful flavour of absinthe. Gin and vermouth helps make this nicely dry. Great variation of a martini. On my favourites.

I loved the slight hint of aniseed. A really delicious cocktail that I think will become a favourite.

Gotta have the absinthe. Otherwise, it's just a slightly sweet martini.

Also great with blanco tequila instead of gin.
