Served straight-up in a martini glass and garnished with fresh grapes, this no-fuss cocktail is made a standout by a final mist of absinthe that tickles the nose and awakens the palate....
Absinthe has a misinformation quotient at least as high as its usual alcohol content of 60 to 70 percent. So if you’re looking for the truth, you’ve come to the right place....
As beautiful as we find the many antique and reproduction absinthe fountains available now, they are by no means necessary to the enjoyment of the green fairy.
There’s a good reason this recipe doesn’t appear in many cocktail books (or books about absinthe, for that matter): It’s not an easy one to appreciate.
