I found this to be a Wow cocktail. I love absinthe, and the falvour of the absinthe is present. It tastes very much of an absinthe-laced New Orleans cocktail. It is strong and favlourful.

It’s a strange mixture of ingredients but all play their role. The Chambord surprisingly does add raspberry and the Absinthe a twist. Apple and coffee work with the Tequila. A drink that is a bit different.
