How To make a Sour Witch

In the bottom of a mixing glass muddle the sour cherries in the lime juice and the almond syrup. Add the absinthe with ice and shake very well. Strain into a chilled Champagne flute. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Social and Cocktail says:

A great combination, with the anise of the absinthe offset by the sweet flavour of almond syrup, the tart of lime and the sour of cherries. A big thumbs-up from us.
