Mad Hatter
A rye-laced sour set apart by anis and liquorice notes from absinthe, shaken with the other ingredients and floated on the cocktail

Mad Hatters succumbed to madness because of mercury poisoning associated with their industrial treatment of hat fur. 'Absintheism' was a form of madness attributed to imbibing the 'green fairy'. In these more enlightened times, one would be mad not to try this fruity and complex sour.

btw, to our generous host the absinthe 'dasher' you suggested works a treat. Thanks so much for the advice.
