1 oz Gold rum, Appleton Special
1⁄2 oz Falernum
1⁄4 oz Absinthe
Instructions

Build in an ice-filled highball glass or tiki mug and swizzle. Garnish with a paper umbrella and serve with a swizzle stick.

History

I wanted to combine absinthe and pineapple juice in a swizzle, and did so, naming it after my young son Felix who won’t be allowed to try one for 25 more years.

  • Balance is a little off. Too much absinthe and the other flavors get lost.
  • Agreed, this is nicely balanced.

Delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and strong, and the absinthe just adds more character and depth. Tried this a bit ago just after wrapping up MxMo Tiki Theme. 5 stars.
