The Re-Animator leads with absinthe's bold anise character, tempered by the juniper bite of gin and the sweet orange warmth of Cointreau. A bare touch of lemon keeps the drink from tipping into cloying territory, leaving a clean, herbal finish. It's a potent, aromatic sipper that doesn't hide its intentions.
