Sipping on this right now and it is delicious. I’m a big fan of sweetening drinks with St. Germain (recently have been making margaritas with St. Germain instead of Cointreau recently, a nice alternative) and the dash of absinthe is very intriguing. I’m not a big fan of anise flavors either in cooking or in absinthe but a little big goes a long way in terms of giving this drink a mysterious twist. Thanks again Robert!

Robert,
Voyager is an interesting choice of gin here, with its strong notes of cardamom and coriander. But, it can be a little hard to find. (Actually, very hard around here.) Can you recommend a more widely marketed alternative? Maybe Aviation or 209?

oh my gosh I’ve never tried St. Germain with absinthe before, this is delicious…
I have to be very sparing with my St. Germain though, it runs $65 per bottle in B.C.!! How much can you get it for south of the border?
