The Herbsaint overwhelms the rest of the drink. Perhaps it should be notched down to either a rinse or 1/8 oz.

v. good sazeracy type of drink! I used a rinse of absinthe.

Okay, but less than the sum of the parts. Even at 1/8 oz, the Pastis dominates, and much moreso than with a rinse for a Sazerac which I enjoy. As a result, the Braulio and Cynar are muted.

Agree with all comments that that's too much pastis. I would lowball / probably just rinse with it as overwhelming at 1/4 even for the other strong ingredients.
