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

I'm really enjoying this. Absinthe can be a massive bully in the glass, so I was parsimonious with it - just a 5ml barspoon for two servings. But it plays really nicely in this - I'll certainly try a little more next time. And I used Noilly Prat without any problem at all (despite an earlier comment on here).

Well I've just checked the 'Measures and measuring' section on here, and it says 8 dashes is jusy 3.5ml, and of course a barspoon is about 5ml, so maybe I overdosed the absinthe. Ah well, it was very nice nonetheless!
