Simple and captivating, The Chrysanthemum is a drink unlike any other. This mix concentrates on dry vermouth, allowing it to be the flavor base against the brandy and absinthe accents. If you notice, in the picture The Chrysanthemum is shown on the rocks while the recipe calls for it to be served up in cocktail glass. Either is a good option, though I do prefer the iced version because it allows the flavors to relax as you drink.
