Drink Recipe

Absinthe Drip

A bracing, herbaceous sip dominated by anise and botanical bitterness that softens as cold water and sugar mellow the spirit. The drink louches from clear green to a cloudy, pale opal around a single large cube, offering a small theatrical ritual. Worth trying if you enjoy bold, spirit-forward aperitifs and the sensory experience of the traditional absinthe drip.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Absinthe
  • 1 tsp Granulated Sugar

Instructions

  1. Start by pouring absinthe into an old-fashioned glass and add a large cube of ice.
  2. Place an absinthe spoon over the top of the glass and rest the sugar on the spoon.
  3. Slowly drip water over the sugar, allowing it to dissolve and mix into the absinthe, enhancing its flavors.
