Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.65 / 5
The O' Dear is a complex and potent cocktail that boasts a diverse array of flavors, combining the robust and clear notes of vodka with the anise-like taste of absinthe. Enhanced by the sweetness of orange and apple juices, it is further enriched by the depth of dark rum, while a hint of gin introduces a touch of herbal sharpness. The cocktail is crowned with whipped cream, which adds a creamy texture and softens the intense combination of spirits, resulting in a multi-layered drinking experience. Served in a highball glass, the O' Dear presents a bold and dynamic choice for those seeking a cocktail with a strong character and a variety of taste sensations.
