Glass Cocktail
Method Shaken
Garnish orange twist

A perfectly balanced tightrope walk of gin, citrus, and Lillet with a ghostly absinthe rinse. Bright, complex, and alarmingly easy to drink before noon.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 oz Gin
  • 3/4 oz Lillet Blanc
  • 3/4 oz Triple Sec
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 dash Absinthe

Method

Rinse a chilled cocktail glass with the absinthe — swirl it around to coat, then discard the excess. Shake remaining ingredients with ice. Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
