I’m glad you enjoyed it — the anise and fennel of absinthe isn’t to everyone’s taste, and your substitution sounds interesting.

I hadn’t thought of the Bombay for awhile, so now it’s on the list for tonight. Thanks for the reminder.

I love it! I did the exact recipe, but I couldn’t find absinthe so I used Arak Muaddi (www.muaddi.com), because arak has a similar anise flavor and it worked out! I’m definitely gonna entertain guests with this one.

Don’t flatter me, Doug. I posted it today. Beside, I imagine you get several times more traffic than I do.

Hi, DJ, and thanks for the link—that explains the pleasant (and mysterious) bump in my site visits yesterday!

Your Bolaños cocktail looks interesting, can’t wait to give it a try.

I know us booze nerds are supposed to like vermouthy cocktails, but this one needs less of it, as we evidently both agree: http://spiritedremix.blogspot.com/2013/07/mxmo-lxxv-bolanos.html

I do enjoy doing the photos, it’s always an interesting challenge, as you know. (I commend your website, Science of Drink, to anyone who appreciates good cocktail photography.) Thank you for letting me know, that’s very uplifting to be reminded that people care about these things.

All are wonderful – the light, the color and the cocktail of course. It gives me a lot of inspiration.

I tend to only keep a couple of things.

Of course, as for the proportions, who knows; and many other spices could have been used. Fun project perhaps though… :)
