Interesting flavors arranged inventively, but for me at least, too sweet to work as a punch or grog, and too big to work as a dessert drink. 

This version is decidedly different than the link. Any thoughts on what's actually going on here? Thanks,  Zachary

Looks like the recipe at the link has changed over time. No idea why. Current version doesn't have the asterisked sub recipes, though.

1 oz Green Spot Irish whiskey

1/2 oz Apricot eau-de-vie

1/2 oz Creme de cacao

1/2 oz Pineapple juice

1/2 oz Pistachio syrup

1/3 oz Matcha Green Tea Coco Lopez*

2 ds Pernod absinthe

Matcha Green Tea Coco Lopez*

90:1 ratio of Coco Lopez to Match Green Tea Powder. I made 2.5oz to 1/8tsp.

Published recipe is completely inedible.

I can find no references to this cocktail that contain pineapple. Paste Magazine has the version published here, sans mint (though it is in the photo) and with matcha decreased to 1/4 tsp.

He makes the drink here - at the opening of the video, the menu page says Green Spot, green tea, apricot, coconut, pistachio, absinthe. The video seems like there's a lot more ingredients though. Thanks,  Zachary

Edit: So there are 8 things he's using in the video.  It looks like absinthe (2 dashes), pistachio paste (1 bsp), some sort of coconut milk or dairy, a yellow frothy liquid which seems to be pineapple, a brownish liquid that's murky so it's not Apry, 2 clear liquids (creme de cacao and the eau de vie?) and the whiskey (1 oz). Thanks,  Zachary

Is that a scoop of pistachio paste or is it the matcha Coco Lopez? I assumed the latter.

Hard to tell.... I'd guess they'd be about the same color and consistency. Would that make the brownish liquid pistachio syrup? Thanks,  Zachary

There are enough liquids from unlabeled bottles that I really dont know. I thought the first bottle after the scoop that you thought might be pineapple could be the syrup because it kind of looked like orgeat to me....but I agree that the darker liquid looks more like the syrup than Apry.

By the way, this is the best part about cocktail geeks. Trying to decipher a 5 year old video of unlabeled bottles to get a drink just exactly perfect. Thanks,  Zachary

The reference link seems to have some connection problems as of 2016, but is accessible through the Wayback Machine as: https://web.archive.org/web/20150706011708/http://bitbyafox.com/?p=4585. (Later links seem to take an extremely long time to actually redirect and load? Or don't load at all...odd.) The drink is okay, sort of single note grapefruit/citrus. The Lillet Rose isn't able to add much body against so much citrus acidity, and goes mostly unnoticed.

A highly recommended short trip for "The Long Journey." For Cynar lovers, this drink is a disappointment. Ditto for Bonal lovers. Likewise for lovers of a good cocktail. Its taste is light, and there's no "body." The Sherry overwhelms the Cynar, and the Bonal. Were I to try and rescue "The Long Journey," my first step would be to reduce the amount of Sherry to 1 oz. I would also either trade in the celery bitter for another, or add another--probably the latter.

I rate this drink at 2.5, and call it a work in progress.

Looks good.
