Mixed Absinthe Drinks
Absinthe Suissesse
Named in honor of a Swiss Girl, make this one by pouring everything into your cocktail mixer with ice and shaking vigorously, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
If you can't find white creme de menthe, use clear creme de menthe and add a splash of heavy cream (it's supposed to be white-ish). If it is still too strong, add a splash of club soda.
My personal variation: pour over white ice cubes in a glass goblet. Dust with nutmeg, and garnish with a sprig of fresh wormwood, two green straws, and a Swiss flag. Make the white ice cubes by pouring a little milk into the ice cube tray with water and freezing well ahead of time.
Absinthe Margarita
Just substitute absinthe for tequila. Salt the rim, fill glass with ice. Pour in the absinthe and sour mix. Splash in some tequila just to kill the odor and taste of the absinthe. Float the triple sec. Garnish with lime. Salud!
Cajun Mary
My favorite bloody mary variation made with absinthe: Fill cocktail glass with ice. Pour in absinthe and bloody mary mix. Add the worchestershire and tabasco. Salt and pepper it. Garnish with the shrimp.
For a great impression, use brown ice cubes made with worchestershire dribbled into the water in an ice tray and frozen ahead of time.
