Wondrich is one of my references but the IBA recipe is the same as yours, what’s your opinion about this Tuxedo?
Many thanks!

I’m not familiar with the Jensen gin, it would be interesting to try one day, if it shows up in my market. Thanks for the suggestion.

I prefter using Old Tom though Ransom is a bit rough – Jensens old tom works just right.

I’ve tried it both ways, and coating the glass, Sazerac style, works just fine. The main difference seems to be whether the absinthe is present more in the nose or on the palate. (I tend to go with absinthe washes—I love a nose full of absinthe—but the good part is that everyone gets to pick his favorite.)

I’ve made the McElhone version with the exception of coating the glass with the St. George absinthe vs. stirring in… not sure if it makes a difference but I do really like this cocktail.

There seem to be many ways to make the Tuxedo, and your “no absinthe” variant seems plenty legit to me. “Clean” is an intriguing attribute, and provides an interesting angle for evaluating a cocktail. Thanks for the suggestion.

The absinthe is good in the cocktail but seems “cleaner” without the absinthe, have also tired Peychaud’s to replace the absinthe which is also good but also took out the nice clean flavor that you get from the rest of the drink.

I know what you mean about the sherry gene—I don’t seem to have it, either. Wish I did, but… no. (I keep trying, though.)

I hope you enjoy the Imbue version of the Tuxedo—I like it a lot. And if you can find the Ransom Old Tom, so much the better!

Thanks for taking time to join in, have a great day.

I will try your version next time (I’m absolutely giddy about Imbue).

As always thanks for the post; I’m always glad to have your research.

Regards,

Tengrain
