Made this recipe twice. First time using two dashes of absinthe from a Japanese dasher bottle, with no pepper rim. Second time using 5 ml Herbsaint with a pepper rim. Definitely prefer the latter. Much rounder flavors with the added bonus of the piquant bite of pimiento. Flavor and sweetness balance depends on rather surgical execution/dilution. I think it's worth trying, but it shouldn't replace your fave Daiquiri recipe (mine 6:2:1)
