  • St. George Absinthe; reduced orgeat to 1/3 oz — ★★★★
  • Truly shocked at how well this works and how interesting this drink is
  • Absinthe- sweet, herbal
  • Made it with Herbsaint, almond syrup, homemade allspice dram, and Q Ginger. Wonderfully balanced. 5/5

Amazing combination. Too sweet for my taste as written though. I got back the orgeat to half an ounce and that was just right.


Easily one of the best and most interesting cocktails I have ever made at home. You can really taste every single ingredient. Bravo.

Here's the Drink recipe as I published it in 2011 (the Death to Sour Mix link is dead along with the rest of Raul's blog). Slightly different but the lime juice volumes saves the muddling of lime wedges (but doesn't proffer the elegant lime oils). My post also provides the back story:

A perfect summer libation. Defies categorization, but I’m moved put it in the mojito-caipirinha category - just a great summer sour.
