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



jhollist99 commented on 2/07/2023:

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


HallA commented on 6/23/2024:

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.

Shawn C commented on 10/22/2022:

Not a complex construction, but it works beautifully. Each element binds it together, including the orange peel (expressed mine then submerged it into the drink.) I am not normally a fan of banana since banana esters are a problem in various beers, but this cooked banana flavor works well with the Nardini and anejo tequila.
