Tips & Tricks
Try different brands or types of absinthe to vary the intensity and profile of the herbal flavors. Some absinthes might be more floral, others more bitter or sweet, which can significantly change the drink’s character.
Instead of lemon juice, use other citrus juices like lime, grapefruit, or even a blend of citrus to tweak the acidity and brightness of the cocktail. Each type of citrus can bring a new dimension to the drink.
