An aromatised 2:1 shaken Dry Martini with a tiny dose of grenadine, which turns this the merest rust-pink, while just a dash of absinthe adds wormwood...
Whats not to like...I used overproof Aviation Gin and although i used the stated mount of Grenadine, mine came out pink/redder that the photo
gorgeous cocktail and one of my faves
Great classic. The absinthe does add an interesting flavour, but it is enhanced by the gin. This is one you need to use a good grade of all your ingredients.
