I made this with Nordes Gin, Noisy Prat and Cointreau finished with both a lemon and orange twist and wow, super cocktail. The salty, herbal nature of the Nordes with the sweet orange of the Cointreau really works well. Will continue to experiment with this combo.

Even with this recipe waiting more heavily to gin than the original, I still found myself adding extra gin to balance it out, plus a decent amount of wet ice. I enjoyed this but it's definitely quite a sweet, after dinner cocktail cocktail.

Like many cocktail recipes using absinthe, this seems very wasteful of the green fairy! I kept the full 10ml of absinthe and diluted with wet ice, cocktail was good but definitely absinthe forward. Next time I'll try 5ml and again keep all of it and shake (not stir) with ice. Will update.

Due to the gin bottle running dry, I made this with 50ml of gin and 25ml of dry vermouth and the result was an pleasantly surprising, lighter but still distinctly a Tuxedo No 2
