I have a deep seated hatred of absinthe, and really all things that even remotely resemble licorice, but this cocktail is really kind of the exception. This is probably because the only taste of Absinthe that you get is at the very end and everything else is so much more powerful that you barely notice it. Once the drink warmed a bit though it does become more pronounced, so I suggest that you drink it quickly if you don’t want that particular flavor profile resting on your tongue.

Rinse glass with Absinthe, then dump the remaining Absinthe into the shaker with all of the other ingredients and shake everything together. Serve in a chilled cocktail glass. For more info: https://theyearlingblog.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/day-153-monkey-gland/
