All of Hall of Fame 1/291. Yup, this tastes like a glass of diluted absinthe. Better than I was expecting as a not-anise-fan but...yeah, it's just absinthe.

1.5oz absinthe, 0.25oz rich simple syrup, 3oz chilled water, top with ice and briefly stir. Or drop the ice and add an extra 1.5oz chilled water. That's the way I do it, it's more convenient and consistent than dissolving a sugar cube, but lacks the traditional ritualistic aesthetic.

Many thanks, Hunter. I've termed your recipe "Absinthe Dripped" and added a link to page with recipe above.

I prefer this to the absinthe cocktail simply because I prefer the stronger absinthe-water ratio, and because I enjoy the process.

Less than a fiver extra for all this, vs. the price of the bottle! My order is now in :)

Having one of these right now possibly the second one since buying a Fee Parisienne bottle. I normally only use it for cocktails like Corpse Reviver family. I couldn’t remember how much water so started to do a google search and found like a couple of relevant topics like « how to drink Absinth and not die » next one « prepare Absinth in 15 steps » so headed over here and it was just right and to be honest the sugar cube dissolve very quickly. I added 2 içe cubes per drink and stirred.
