Found another "classic" deep in the tomes. It's not every day that we get to weave in some absinthe, so let's get started. Wolf BiteRECIPE 1/4 oz Absinthe 1/2 oz Midori 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice 1/4 oz Grenadine TASTING NOTES + Despite its name, the "bite" here is non-existent; this is a sweet, licorice vehicle. + Midori is a difficult flavor to mask, so if you're here for melon, you won't be disappointed. + The licorice of the Absinthe behaves much like my honey liqueurs; it comes through in pleasant intervals. + The pineapple, as expected, is mega strong. With the Midori here, you're getting quite the fruit bomb. It barely tastes alcoholic. Variation: LycanthropeRECIPE
1/4 oz Absinthe 1/2 oz Midori 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice 1/4 oz Grenadine Splash of Curacao 1 Draw of Blackstrap Bitters TASTING NOTES + In an effort to add new colors to this mixture, the Cranberry and Midori do so in visual and profile. I appreciate Cranberry because it cuts the blast of melon down to allow for other flavors to shine. + There are still great measures of sweet here, but the Blackstrap mingles well with Curacao to add darker notes. + Great vehicle for licorice. + In fact, the combo of Curacao's bitter orange + the smoky Blackstrap + the repeated pulses of Absinthe is really something interesting. + Highly recommend ice for this one. All in all, this was a transformative experiment and I highly recommend anything that's going to woof your howl. ...No, I don't know what that means. ;) -Adamus
