  • Unbalanced. Hard to drink. Needs something sweet.
  • Leatherbee Gin A little too boozy. Will try again with less gin or absinthe. Loved the flavor. — ★★★
  • Made with middling gin (Beefeater) and middling absinthe substitute (Herbsaint). A little too licorice-y for my taste. — ★★★

  • Soda water is not needed. We've up in a coupe. As another use e suggested I tried it with Peychauds, while not bad I prefer with Orange Bitters only.
  • Leave out the soda
  • Peychauds bitters in addition to the orange work beautifully
