Notes
Sub orange liqueur for maraschino and absinthe and you have the simpler fancy cocktail. David Wondrich seems to favor Fee Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters.
History
An evolution of the original cock-tail of spirit, sugar, bitters, and ice.
From other users
- A little too sweet for me. Even at the stingiest dash the absinthe is quite prominent.
- 5/6/18 2 genever, 1/4 maraschino, 2 d ango, 1tsp ss, 1/2 tsp absinthe, should've been 1/4 tsp abs
