Chrysanthemum
Herbal and aromatic, this benefits from the dilution that comes with a good long stir

Felt like a bee sipping nectar from a flower! Awesome! Dolin Dry, Grande Absente.

Tried both the Boudreau and 1930 Craddock recipes. Both are good, but I think the lemon juice in the Boudreau recipe detracts a bit from herbal, aromatic nature of the drink which I enjoy. The Boudreau version is a little more refreshing on the palate. The version I’ll make in the future will have to be a preprandial decision.

Great call on the comparison. I do like sour but went with the original first and glad I did. Thanks. It was sublime.

Always fun to learn a new word. Two books once lost and now sorely missed; Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, and one on bioscientific terminology. Cheers.

I like this very much, especially with heavy dashes of absinthe.

Sublime, especially with ragtime accompaniment.

The Chrysanthemum #2 includes lemon juice to brighten and freshen the cocktail. I recommend that. I also recommend increasing the Benedictine by 2-3x.

Jamie's Chrysanthemum #2 recipe is under "Variant" above.

I didn’t like this when I made it from this recipe, but then followed a ratio from another cocktail guide (2 1/2 shots Dolin Dry, 1/2 shot Benedictine, teaspoon absinthe) & am enjoying it very much.

Carpano dry vermouth's unusual herbal taste is positively complemented in this cocktail. I liked it. Try it.

Very nice well balanced drink that reminded me of Black Jack sweets from childhood.
