Instead of doing a rinse with the absinthe, use an atomiser and give 2-6 squirts depending how noticeable you want it to be. I’ve started doing that and the advantages are you get a much more even coating, as well as using a lot less per cocktail and discarding the leftover. An absolute game changer.

An absolutely delicious cocktail, homemade grenadine makes all the difference and I strongly recommend you make your own.

It scores high visually, but then it falls a bit flat. I used Mrs Better’s for the foam instead of the egg white and maybe that didn’t help, it didn’t have much body and just tasted a bit lacklustre.

Just made one and it’s pretty darn good. The only thing is the amaretto is pretty overpowering, I think next time I’d drop it down to 15ml, or else swap it for frangelico.
