Seasonal

This is a riff on a drink called Touch of Evil I found on Chowhound. Or on Reddit referencing Chowhound. Anyway even though I'm still not officially converted to loving absinthe, I DO love just a little bit of it in a drink to round things out and add some additional complexity.

Editor's Note

Empress 1908 gin meets tart rhubarb syrup in this bright, balanced sour. A single dash of absinthe provides an aromatic backbone that ties the botanical and fruit notes together.
