Excellent drink. I love the simplicity and the moderate level of alcohol makes it possible to sip through two or three of these on a warm afternoon without falling over.

Nice drink. I only had straight cranberry juice available so I added 5ml of simple syrup which seemed to work okay but a little more sweetening wouldn’t hurt either.

Made this in the past and really enjoyed it. This evening, I only had a 2/3 shot of Tennessee whiskey available and after thrashing around looking for something appropriate to make up the shortfall, I pulled out a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask and thought: “Why not?”
It’s not bad. I might experiment more. (I too cannot discard perfectly good Absinthe.)

A nice summer cocktail. I am wary of simple syrup and halved the amount. Worked well for me.
