I couldn’t quite put my finger on exactly what was familiar about this cocktail, but I think you’ve nailed it! It tastes like there’s fresh pomegranate juice in the mix for sure. I’m about half way through my first one and have realised I completely forgot the absinthe rinse, but why it now when this particular other woman is absolutely pomegranate perfect as she is?
This is so refreshingly yummy, it’s peachy perfect tho not too sweet - Summer in a glass…. Forget the egg nog, the peach tea is a far more suitable Christmas drink, at least for those of us lucky enough to manage the side effects of way too much food and drink with a quick dip in the pool, down here in unfestively hot Australia
Simon, this is truly magnificent! I didn’t have agave so I just used simple syrup. I didn’t have lavender bitters either, but I did have a bottle of “lavender distillate” from the Middle Easter grocers - and I figured 5 drops of this plus 3 drops of peychauds would be a reasonable substitute… It’s smokey AND floral and utterly delicious. I’m not sure why but it also tastes a lot like honey, which must be on account of that weird alchemy that happens only in the best cocktails!
