Just had this, as the last post mentioned, shocked how balanced it was! That funky S&C banana note was well matched by the bitterness and herbal-ness. A banger for me!
Loved this drink. Used Monkey Shoulder, Cocchi, and Campari, and had no orange, so used a lemon peal…it was excellent!! Surprised how cocoa flavours were coming out.
Careful with the absinthe…I did a light wash, poured any remaining out, and I feel it still overpowered my drink…maybe I needed a higher proof rum that the Barbados rum I used. Much easier drinking though that expected…might up the peated scotch next time!
