First sip surprised me, I was expecting an exotic cough syrpu...I'd try it next time without the additional simple syrup.  

 

Also, it makes a good base for a shot of gin...I used Sapphire East, re-stirred the whole shootin' match with ice, then put it into my antique up glass.  Less sweet, more booze.

we did a blend of amaro (including amargo-vallet) and this was a tasty cocktail.

  • v. good! I just a rinse of absinthe.

GratefulDawg73 commented on 9/10/2017:

The Herbsaint overwhelms the rest of the drink. Perhaps it should be notched down to either a rinse or 1/8 oz.

tylerjoh commented on 3/14/2021:

v. good sazeracy type of drink! I used a rinse of absinthe.

Shawn C commented on 11/29/2022:

Okay, but less than the sum of the parts. Even at 1/8 oz, the Pastis dominates, and much moreso than with a rinse for a Sazerac which I enjoy. As a result, the Braulio and Cynar are muted.

HallA commented on 11/17/2024:

Agree with all comments that that's too much pastis. I would lowball / probably just rinse with it as overwhelming at 1/4 even for the other strong ingredients.
