Comments

I am a somewhat puzzled by the recipe with respect to the garnishes. Is this supposed to have 3 dashes of Absinthe stirred into the drink, with another 3 dashes of Absinthe added on top of the drink? Luxardo cherry syrup just sinks to the bottom, which might be the intent, to create a sort of layer in the bottom neck of the glass. I don't have wormwood bitters among my 40+ bitters...I might consider adding some Malort (which is a simple wormwood infusion) to the drink as a sub.
