Friday April 29th

This weekends Fancy Drink Friday was inspired by Vincent Van Vogh.

How? Easy Absinthe. 

Well, we can't get the original stuff here in the US, but this comes close enough.

The Original Sazerac:

Ingredients

Absinthe, to rinse

2 ounces cognac

1/2 ounce simple syrup

3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Garnish: lemon peel

Steps

Rinse a chilled Old Fashioned glass with the absinthe, fill with crushed ice and set aside.

Add the cognac, simple syrup and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.

Discard the ice and any excess absinthe from the prepared glass, and strain the drink into the glass.
