Wonderful! I think the Cointreau really is the key to this drink. I wonder how it would taste with a cheaper triple sec? I have to test that, but not tonight. Tonight I am delighted to sip on this. "Tart becomes cleansing" the review says. I second that emotion!

Had some dry vermouth lying about. Wanted to use it for something else than Dry Martinis. Found this recipe and I am now totally converted to using dry vermouth for making Prestiges rather than Dry Martinis. It was that good! Mouth puckering sour, warm spicyness and rum-sweetness, perfectly balanced in every sip.

I always thought that no cognac cocktail could be better than a sidecar. This proved me wrong! Absolut perfect balance of sweet, sour, herbal and fruity.

If you - like me - love absinthe.

This is for you!
Exceptional drink! My wife thought it was the worst.
But she´s no fan of absinthe.
