Well, I expected this one to be absolutely not for me. In the end it's barely palatable. Pernod is just 100% NyQuil to me and I don't think that'll ever change. I love licorice candy, but boy can I not get behind it in drink form. I paired it with Obituary's 2017 album "Obituary," since that seemed appropriate, and of course that's a guaranteed win. ????????

• 2 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin
• ¼ oz Pernod
• ¼ oz Dolin Dry Vermouth

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. No garnish.
