  • Agree that Bonal is a bit muted. I like it so may tweak with another .25 next time. Used Muse Verte as rinse.
  • Good. Made with Rittenhouse. The lemon predominated. Perhaps worth trying some rebalancing to steer it further away from a whiskey sour. — ★★★★

Canephoros commented on 10/12/2015:

Although I forgot the absinthe rinse, I really enjoyed this drink. I used Senior's white Curacao, which I like, and Old Overholt Rye, which I don't like as much as Bulleit's.  But I would say that this drink is my favorite of the 4 or 5 similar recipes I tried out over the weekend (Fernetaboutit, Corpse Defiler 666, Bitter Apricot, Death is not the End).

Stewart commented on 11/30/2016:

The lemon flavor really "pops" without being overly sour.  I feel like the Bonal gets a little lost.

 

Biff Malibu commented on 12/15/2022:

Agree with going skosh on the lemon juice: at the beginning, all flavors were present, but as the drink progressed, lemon dominated.

  • Made it with Crude Orange and Fig bitters, a splash of orange blossom water, and not and much simple syrup and called for. U see Citadelle gin. Feedback from my taste tester was it could use something more fruit forward but otherwise good. Good base you experiment from. — ★★★★

  • Think I overdid the salt--in an all-hooch drink like this, it doesn't take much. The Booze Nerds have far more subtle palates than I--I didn't get much out of this, though as it warmed it became more interesting.
