For someone who wants a somewhat sweet cocktail. Take care to just just a rinse of absinthe, lest it overpower the other flavors.

  • Disappointing. Rather sweet and uninteresting. The flavors are subtle enough that the Absinthe rinse overshadows the other flavors. Tried adding acid (1/4 oz lemon). Didn't help much. Added 3/4 oz Campari, and it was improved — ★★
