This is very tasty. Complex but smooth. If anything though, I’d up the lemon juice a bit. I think my apple juice is a little on the sweeter side (plus I tend to lean more to the sour).
I accidentally left out the sugar syrup the first time I made this. Tried again with it, and I’m not convinced it even needs it (I’ll admit that I do prefer slightly sour drinks). Very tasty.
I’m always amazed how absinthe (a flavor I generally cannot stand), in moderate amounts, adds such complexity to a cocktail. I have to say this is the best version of the Alaska that I have had.
