Had this again as an evening sipper. Used dry vermouth to cut down on the sweetness as we like our cocktails on the dry side. Perfect as always. Did add a spray of absinthe on the top of the cocktail as well as being in the cocktail

This cocktail was great. Similar to a Vesper in flavour. Did not have the Ginseng bitters so I substituted Fernet (suggestion from the internet) with a drop of orange bitters. Perfect for an aperitivo. Would definitely have again.
Thanks Simon for another winner.

Made this again, but added a small 151 Rum float. Pulls out the rum and spice flavours more. Would recommend if you do not mind a spirit forward cocktail.

Had this again, but we eliminated all the sugar syrup. Resulted in a cocktail which had a touch of sweetness, but wonderfully herbal. Very refreshing.

Had this again for St. Patrick's Day. Did cut back on the sugar syrup a little. Made it a bit drier.
I think the 5 ranking on the sweet and dry schedule is off. Should be a 7 or 8.

Wonderful for an evening sipper. Sweet enough to be interesting, but still on the drier side.

Beautiful cocktail. Flavourful and with a unctuous mouth feel. A variety of spices and tastes. A good old fashioned style cocktail. We had for an evening sipper with some amaretto biscuits.

Had again for International Women's Day. It was just a good as I remembered.

After 4 years had this again. We used an amber Barbados rum and added a 151 float. It was outstanding. Strong, but great.

Coming back to this cocktail after four years, still like it, but may back off on the Licor 43 a tad to make it a little less sweet.

Loving Absinthe and New Orleans cocktails, this was outstanding as an after dinner cocktail on Mardi Gras. It is a bit sweet and you MUST like absinthe, but it is wonderful.

Made again but used a combination of Anejo and Reposado tequila. Gives a much more prominent tequila flavour.
