Aniseed liqueur, also known as absinthe, is the star of this cocktail, providing a bold and distinctive licorice flavor. The addition of blackcurrant cordial brings a sweet and tangy note to balance out the anise, while the cider adds a refreshing and effervescent element. The result is a complex and layered drink with a slightly fruity and herbal taste. The Black Witch is the perfect cocktail for those who enjoy bold and intriguing flavors.
