This is the drink that Josh used to turn me to the ways of the dark side. I enjoyed it a great deal, even though I'm not generally a fan of absinthe - the subtle flavor is far from overkill if played correctly. This drink also has a lovely lavender color that I found charming. Apparently I'm a sucker for a pretty drink. If you like a stronger tasting cocktail, feel free to add another teaspoon each of the mixers.
