Harry's Cocktail

Name: Harry's Cocktail
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 3 sprigs Mint Leaves; 1 oz Sweet Vermouth; 2 dashes Absinthe; 2 oz Gin

Bright, minty and distinctly herbal, with cooling mint layered over juniper-forward gin and the anise-tinged lift of absinthe, while sweet vermouth adds a rounded, wine-like sweetness. It pours clear into a chilled cocktail glass with a mint sprig and a briny stuffed olive that adds a savory counterpoint. Worth trying if you like spirit-forward, herbaceous aperitifs with a refreshing, slightly savory finish.
