The Attention leads with gin's juniper backbone, immediately complicated by a whisper of anise from the absinthe. Crème de violette adds a subtle floral sweetness that softens the drink's edges, while dry vermouth and orange bitters keep everything grounded and balanced. The result is aromatic and slightly ethereal, a martini variation with a perfumed, old-world character.
