1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Absinthe (I utilized 20 drops St. George)

Smoke and funk accented by chocolate, mint, and anise flavors.

History

I had recently tried the Dead Poet from Imbibe Magazine and kept thinking about the Poet's Dream. I honed in on Batavia Arrack for some reason that night; mezcal and Batavia Arrack have worked well in drinks like the Smoking Jet Pilot, Airbag, and Esmino's Escape, so things progressed in that route.

  • Nice blend of Batavia Arrack and mezcal (Vida); used Dolin dry vermouth (slightly less than 1 oz). Rate 4.5
  • Dawn says "like a library, a dusty shelf." Savory and herbal elements. Sprayed absinthe in the mix then final spray on presentation.
  • Special and complex and I love it
