Comments

Harmonious, with the absinthe providing a nice little kick. Would make again. 

Really nice drink. Absinthe rinse & lemon are key. I would up rye by .5 0z

Solid 3. I made with Cocchi Doppo di Teatro, which is a little sweeter than Punt a Mes and probably should have put a barspoon of zucca or something else to match bitterness. Definitely worth a try.
