Oh, hell yes! My favorite all time drink!

You use Lillet Blanc?

What absinthe?

What gin?

Edit: Only worried because of the use of the word "lemony" Cointreau?

Cointreau, lillet blanc (which is a massive success but outside my weekly-intake price range), cheap but decent gin, and grande absente, which is evidently a French absinthe, but not particularly expensive.

And it was lemony because it called for an ounce of fresh lemon juice. Surely it's meant to be lemony. Honestly it tasted like fucking lemonade, but I liked it.

Interesting, I have never thought of it as overly lemon-y. Still, glad you liked it. Fuck, next time let me knw you're making CR and I'll virtually join you.
