Absinth Sour

Name: Absinth Sour
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 oz Absinthe; 1 oz Water; 1 oz Sugar Syrup; 2 tsp Lime Juice

Herbaceous, anise-forward absinthe is brightened by lime and rounded with sugar and a splash of water, producing a tart, slightly sweet sour with a pronounced licorice note. Shaken and poured over ice it appears pale and mildly opalescent, finished with lemon and star anise for extra aroma, great as an adventurous aperitif or a conversation starter.
