  • The astringency from the rooibos is really nice although I couldn't really get mine red enough.

Worth noting that the source suggests an extra-long (10-12-minute) steeping of the tea.

This doesn't seem quite there yet. I assumed whiskey with a 'e' didn't mean Scotch so used Evan Williams bourbon. To me it's a little flat and metallic - some expressed orange zest helped. Maybe reduce the absinthe and go for a non-Punt vermouth?

louBD commented on 9/09/2021:

This is great. Bitter suze, with a hint of piney freshness. I'll have to try adding a little more next time. The sloe gin and orange flower water are dominant flavors.


Aokigahara

1 1⁄2 oz Japanese Whisky (Yamakura)
3⁄4 oz Sloe gin (Plymouth)
1⁄3 oz Bigallet China-China
1⁄3 oz Cynar
Instructions

Very long stir in rock glass with ice, serve.

Notes

Kind of an introduction to stired drinks for people outside cocktail sphere.
Warm, mild, just a bit bitter. Easily sipeable for real nerds too.
The drink benefits from dilution. It mellowed the all thing.

History

Trying to use sloe gin instead of vermouth in different drinks.
