Apéritif d'Absinthe: A Refreshing and Bittersweet Cocktail
Apéritif d'Absinthe is a classic cocktail that combines the bold and complex flavors of absinthe with the freshness of citrus and the sweetness of sugar. It is a perfect choice for those who enjoy a refreshing and bittersweet drink.
To make an Apéritif d'Absinthe, you will need a bottle of absinthe, a lemon or lime, sugar cubes, and ice cubes. Start by preparing a chilled martini glass by placing it in the refrigerator or filling it with ice water for a few minutes.
Next, take a sugar cube and place it on a spoon or an absinthe spoon if you have one. Slowly pour a small amount of absinthe over the sugar cube to dissolve it. Some people prefer to drip the absinthe over a sugar cube using a sugar cube holder, but it is not necessary.
Once the sugar cube is dissolved, squeeze the juice of a lemon or lime into a glass. Add a generous amount of ice cubes and pour the absinthe over the ice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
The Apéritif d'Absinthe is now ready to be enjoyed. The cocktail has a pale green color and a refreshing taste with a hint of bitterness from the absinthe. It is a great choice for a pre-dinner drink or a hot summer day.
Remember to drink responsibly and savor the unique flavors of this classic cocktail. Cheers!
Best served in a Parfait Glass.

Origins of Absinthe
Absinthe, often referred to as "la fée verte" (the green fairy), is a distilled spirit made from botanicals including wormwood, anise, and fennel. It originated in Switzerland in the late 18th century but gained popularity in France during the Belle Époque period.
Due to its high alcohol content and alleged hallucinogenic properties, absinthe was banned in many countries by the early 20th century. However, it has since made a comeback and is now enjoyed by connoisseurs around the world.
