ABOUT
Created by Stephen Cole in 2008, this drink flips the tiki script, putting absinthe front and center instead of in the background. Aperol’s bitter orange surprisingly complements the anise, while bitters add a candied edge. A flamed orange peel brings just the right hint of caramelized citrus. Cheers y’all!
