Strawberry Absinthe Sunset

This cocktail is a delightful blend of bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth with the added twist of strawberry and absinthe. The bourbon provides a rich and robust base, complemented by the bittersweet notes of Campari and the smooth sweetness of vermouth. The addition of strawberry puree lends a fruity, summery flavor, while a hint of absinthe introduces a subtle, intriguing herbal note. The cocktail is beautifully balanced, with a touch of citrus from lemon juice and a dash of orange bitters, resulting in a refreshing and complex libation.
