This tastes like a slice of lemon cream pie or lemon refrigerator pie, and it is PHENOMENAL.

I used Spirited Apple Orchard brandy from Phantom V Distillery and skipped the simple, and it cranked this cocktail to 11! It is beautifully balanced. I'd say it's almost a sour, and that Apple brandy is something else! The apple flavor never gets drowned out. It elevates everything I've mixed it with! I wish it were on your list of spirits/liqueurs.

How much absinthe? It seems to say "O fl oz."

I followed the original recipe, and it's not good. It's bland and lifeless. I had to add Phantom Distilling Company Spirited Apple Orchard to keep from pouring it n the sink.
