Very unusual —and delightfully rich. The blend of flavors has an amazing complexity that suits me very well. Strong, certainly, but I made it on the rocks, and that actually worked to dilute the mixture into something glorious.

Perfect. Taste of the Genever is forefront. Slight hint of the absinthe. Strong and not for the meek. Wonderful to sip instead of a Martini.

Wonderful drink. Really brought out the malty flavors in the genever.

So I made this as per the above recipe. While I enjoyed this, I wonder if I might have preferred the ratios published in Difford's 15th edition, and in particular if as in that recipe, 1/2 oz water might have tamed the cocktail slightly. Will try that version next and report back!

Does anyone know with any kind of authority what a dash actually is? In this recipe is saying 4 dashes is 1.25ml (0.3ml per dash) but on the website I've linked below it says it's just under 1ml per dash and 1ml was also the general consensus on a cocktail Facebook group I'm a member of.

In the "How to make above" I've added a link to a page explaining measuring and the volume of drops and dashes.
