Absinthe Cocktails – The Art of Garden Mixology

Absinthe has long been seen as an off-limits spirit among many drinkers, yet this anise-flavored liqueur has slowly earned itself a place on cocktail menus as an interesting ingredient that adds variety. Bottled at high alcohol content and often served with water dilution (known as diluting it with), absinthe is often served using an absinthe spoon with an ergonomically designed slotted tine to rest securely over a sugar cube which drips cold icy-cold water ( known as diluting). Finally, an absinthe spoon with an integral lip near its center allows it to rest securely rest securely over top of glasses without tipping them over!

Absinthe can be enjoyed straight, though more commonly it serves as an accent flavor in other drink recipes – such as the Corpse Reviver No 2 made with gin that claims it can bring the dead back to life when mixed correctly, and the Monkey Gland made with orange juice and grenadine for sweetness.

Absinthe’s robust flavors pair beautifully with other ingredients; The Spruce Eats notes how well its vibrant green liquor pairs with full-bodied gins containing botanicals and fruits that enhance absinthe’s strong flavors.

If you prefer something milder on the absinthe front, try mixing it with rich apple syrup or sherry for an equally pleasing experience. By experimenting with various recipes you will discover new ways to craft cocktails that will satisfy both newcomers and experts alike.
