I accidentally reversed the mint and peach amounts on this (someone was talking to me!), but I rather enjoyed it nonetheless. I thought it would be too sweet, but actually not. (I realised my mistake halfway, and so actually increased the mint to 7.5 ml).

Wonderful -- a sweeter, more herbal, Manhattan.

We enjoyed this alongside a beef chilli, and the spicy tomato flavour really brought out the complexity and roundness of the drink. I suppose this makes sense given that drier sherries are typically drank with these types of dishes on the Iberian peninsula.

This is a wonderful cocktail, although I did struggle to detect much of the peach over the absinthe. I'd like to try it again with 1 dash absinthe and perhaps a touch more peach and Cocchi.
