It wasn't very Negroni-esque but I kind of like it. Agree that there are some bubblegum notes but it's still balanced and not overly sweet. This could be a nice autumn digestif.
Added 5ml of lime juice just to freshen it up a bit and it certainly helped. After that it's a fresh, bitter cocktail with a nice fruitiness. None of the ingredients are dominating but all get to shine.
Really surprised by this one. The mint is tempered and balanced by the funk and Falernum whereas the absinthe gives some cool licorice notes on the end. On paper it seems like it would be ridiculous but it 100% works.
