Muddle lime juice, agave syrup and oregano in a mixing glass. Add remaining ingredients, along with ice, and shake. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Delicious combination of ingredients, but "sprigs" in the recipe is subjective. I've found success with 2-3, 2"-3" sprigs. If you have full, 5" sprigs full of leaves, even a single one would do not to overpower the other flavors. You can also easily use agave nectar instead of making the syrup, and substitute absinthe for pastis if thats what you have on hand. I've had success with the absinthe, which I think also helps round out the vegetal flavors of oregano better than pastis. Cheers!
Smelled and tasted like a cleaning agent—we couldn’t stand it. Did I overdo it while muddling the oregano? Perhaps I had too much oregano in the end? I made two at once (my first mistake- should have tested it) thus used 8 sprigs of oregano. The sprigs were 4-5 inches long.
Had this in Bangkok at Vesper -- originally a NYC cocktail I believe. It's superb!
I had this cocktail a week ago at Vox Table in Austin, Texas. I loved it and now I can make one for myself.
