  • 12/30/18: Made with Tanqueray, M&R, and PF dry curacao. Would like to try with 0.25 oz PF dry curaçao. I prefer this to a martini.
  • Probably better with the spec'd absinthe than my Herbsaint. Keep those dashes brief. — ★★★

Accidentally made it without adding the vermouth. Made it again with the vermouth, and actually prefer it without. Bright, tight, herbaceous. Split the gin between Beefeater and Botanist.


Delicious by subbing cocchi americano for the dolin and creole shrubb for the cointreau. Later subbed combier for the creole shrubb, superb as well! Used martin miller westbourne strength and a barspoon for the absinthe measurement. Wonderful!!


Lamuya commented on 7/07/2021:

Less complex than other Death & Co cocktails, but I like how very bright and dry it is. Definitely its own thing too, it doesn't taste like a variation on a martini or another drink.


Boozy, like a dry martini with some pastis notes.

Notes

To make kombu syrup, take one 3"x5" piece of kombu, wipe gently with damp cloth, and add to 2 quarts of water. Either vacuum seal and sous vide or simmer for 2 hours at 148 degrees. Higher temps will make it bitter.
Strain, then add equal part sugar to water.
Saline solution is equal parts salt and water.

  • Sherry did not add, and perhaps subtracted. Try subbing with mezcal.
  • What a nice drink! Make three extra for friends and measure ½.
  • Excellent. Made with rye by mistake. Need to try again with Bourbon. 1/8 oz is hard to measure, but a teaspoon is close enough, or make two and use 1/4 oz. — ★★★★★
