London Fog
Sip slowly and as the crushed ice melts, so dilution mellows this spirituous after-dinner digestive with cleansing aniseed freshness washing over gin's...

Being a big fan of Absinthe, I really liked this as an digestive. The herbal falvours of the gin mix wonderfully with the absinthe. I did use an absinthe and gin both from California which allows for similar herbal profile.

Beebe offers this recipe — London Fog: 1 1/2 oz. gin, 1/4 oz. Pernod’s absinthe. Frappe briskly with shaved ice and serve while still foaming.

In The Stork Club Bar Book (1946), Lucius Beebe writes —
If, by reason of ill-advised research among the flagons the night before, scholarship has triumphed over discretion; if in a word the entire human person resembles nothing so much as what the author of this volume’s first city editor, Norton Pratt of the Boston Telegram used to define as“‘a basket of busted bungholes,” Burgess Meredith has a cure for it. It’s called “London Fog”.

Many thanks. I've just made a London Fog and amended above, also adding Lucius Beebe reference.
