The Zombie as made at TV's is quite tasty with absinthe instead of Pernod, but I don't have a preference; both are different, but equally good. Absinthe isn't sweetened, so it makes for a drier drink. Which way I order it depends on mood, and what else I've had.

Mr. Moto, have you tried Pacifique Absinthe from Pacific Distillery in Washington? I got a chance to try this; a friend bought a bottle, I brough my spoons, glasses and some sugar, and the result was very nice. Very pretty opalescent louche that had a flame-orange tint when held up to a bright light and a bluish edge.
