I do not use my Absinthe very often; especailly as a base liquor. This was nice. I would back off the water a bit. I did back off the syrup a bit as well so this had a nice sour taste, but the anisette was muted by the water. Color was a yellow peach as the Absinthe loses it's collor to the bitters and muted by the egg white. The froth was perfect!
