Best described as "A vodka daiquiri with a hint of herbal peppermint courtesy of Galliano."

William Smith, good decision with the absinthe. The original recipe (winner of the UKBG USA competition in 1950) included 3 drops of "Veritas" which was Pernod's absinthe substitute at the time. Created by a C.S. Berner, hence the name I guess.

Many thanks Bill and William. You have both led me to revisit this cocktail and I have added both absinthe and UKBG reference accordingly. I have also (hopefully) improved my recipe. For those who are interested, and for the record, my previous recipe was 60ml Ketel One vodka, 7.5 Galliano, 22.5 lime juice, and 15 sugar syrup.

Maybe I've had my bottle of Galliano too long, but it just wasn't doing it. I used the tiniest (Sazerac level) trickle of absinthe. Quite nice.

Needs less lime or you'll be drinking alcoholic lime. The aftertaste has a metal hint, which is the most interesting thing about thus super subtitle drink.

Did not have any fresh mint for garnish. Love the drink nonetheless
Mildly herbal without being unapproachable.
Can definitely recommend.
