A bartender at the excellent New Orleans establishment Mr. B's gave me a tip for making Sazeracs. He put absinthe in a tiny spray bottle and used spritzing to replace the standard rinsing. The bouquet is much more pronounced and announces the drink to your senses well ahead of its arrival to your lips.
I often choose cocktails based on their make-ability. I came across this one at a pub called "The Library" in a local B&B because I had all of the ingredients at home. Delightful! I use our local sake-like WonderBird Gin with the Orang Curacao. Perfect!
