History

I wanted to combine absinthe and pineapple juice in a swizzle, and did so, naming it after my young son Felix who won’t be allowed to try one for 25 more years.

  • Balance is a little off. Too much absinthe and the other flavors get lost.
  • Agreed, this is nicely balanced.

Delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and strong, and the absinthe just adds more character and depth. Tried this a bit ago just after wrapping up MxMo Tiki Theme. 5 stars.
