This refreshing mojito-style absinthe cocktail perfectly marries sweet liquorice, tart lime and fresh mint with a bit of fizz, perfect on a hot day
The secret to this cocktail is to find a balance between all of the flavours: not too sweet, not too sour, not too much aniseed, minty but not overpowering. Drink ice cold with lots of fizz from the soda.
