“In all honesty, I don’t drink cocktails often, am not a huge fan of egg whites in my drinks, and am not a lover of absinthe,” says cocktail expert Natasha David. Yet, she says, the frothy, absinthe-spiked Rattlesnake is unexpectedly balanced. As David puts it: “It just goes to show that ingredients in the right proportions create harmony, even if they aren’t always up your alley.”
