Absinthe... discuss. - Tiki Drinks and Food

The brand was well-rated in the book and has worked out well. Despite the hefty price of the bottle (50$ +) most recipes call for significantly less than one ounce, some only drops, so I expect the bottle to last for quite some time. My wife found the absinthe drip to be too strong to drink, but likes absinthe mixed into other drinks. It adds a depth and complexity to a large number of drinks, especially traditional "tiki" drinks. In fact, her favorites so far have all been versions of classic drinks (such as a version of the mai-tai) or drinks that are citrus heavy and contain rum. dcman
