History

Surprisingly large amounts of absinthe and sugar are used; balance is key to harmonious flavour.

Nate at Lulu White bar in Paris, France, created this cocktail in September 2022. He used a mix of light white rum and Clarin Communal Rum, stating that the funky rum was essential for balancing the potent flavors of the absinthe. A rhum blanc agricole was used to replicate this funk while managing back bar inventory.
