A deliciously clean and cleansing Daiquiri with delicate notes of maraschino and anise

A very light, flavorful cocktail. I'm not that crazy about absinthe so, like Florian, I misted Absinthe on the glass instead of using the full amount. Citrusy with a hint of anise ( d.t spritzing of Absinthe). Very enjoyable.

And I forgot to mention: some drops of saline solution is perfect to even lift the taste.

Wonderful cocktail. I used a bit less Absinthe and gave it instead a spray of Absinthe on the ready cocktail in the glass.

I loved it. Next time I will try reducing Maraschino to 5 ml, I found it a little prevailing.

This is my wife’s favourite cocktail

Being a big rum and absinthe fan, this is a perfect cocktail. It could be an aperitif or digestive. Tart with the beautiful hints of absinthe coming through. Highly recommend.

Not bad, but very ordinary.

I bought Pernod not realising it was like sambuca ??
However this is now one of my favourite cocktails. The measures all seem about right for me. Nicely balanced

Just made this a moment ago. Only had 1/4 oz 2:1 cane simple, so I brought it up to a 1/2 with some 'triple syrup' (Dale DeGroff). Lowered the Pernod to 1/12 oz as well. Fantastic! So lovely when on-the-fly adjustments exceed expectations.

Doctor Bird and Herbsaint took this in a more palate-ively effusive expression of blocky, exotic flavors... but the latter was arguably a bit too much or, rather, accentuated itself against the unrestrained esters of the former.
