"I see the arsenic," she said, "but there's no lace that I can see. Don't drink it, honey."
Tonight I tried an Arsenic and Old Lace, inspired by Gin Genie Aaron Knoll of The Gin is In, a blog I highly recommend to gin fanciers and cocktailians.
Alas! I cannot recommend this particular potion yet. Barr Hill Gin and light Dolin Dry Vermouth overaccentuated the sweetness of the Creme de Violette and Pernod. [[nodetitle:Wire Works]] gin with herby Martini and Rossi worked better, This needs much more research, and I am not sure I am up to it. Your feedback is welcome!

Notes
The recipe I saw called for Pastis (Pernod is one) but I think it might be better with bitter absinthe.
