  • This is delicious! I added an orange garnish that complimented well. — ★★★★★
  • I always overdo the absinthe but it was still wonderful.
  • Very nice. Next time, though, I might back off on the St. Germain a tad.
  • This drink is awesome.
  • Amazing!
  • Interesting alchemy in this one. A light touch on the absinthe is probably advisable. — ★★★★

bkemp1984 commented on 7/30/2021:

I got into cocktails by randomly buying the book Absinthe Cocktails, and this is in it and one of the first cocktails I ever made. One drink makes you buy some bottles, then you buy more until you have a whole damn cabinet full. Made this again with a really assertive Spanish vermouth and less elderflower, now that I'm wise enough to know 1 oz is crazy. It's good no matter how you stir it though

Awesome name!... Looks delicious, too.


Shawn C commented on 12/18/2022:

I am fond of Lillet Rose and the aggressive bitterness of Gran Classico separately, but for some reason the combination in this drink creates an odd lipstick/old lady floral perfume effect that doesn't work for me (or the others who sampled my drink.) It was somewhat better as it warmed.
