Asylum Cocktail
Seabrook said of this drink, "look like rosy dawn, taste like the milk of Paradise, and make you plenty crazy." He must have been a Pernod lover

I used a substitution of equal parts La Fee Parisienne and sugar syrup. It worked incredibly well even then. That anaesthatising effect is very pleasurable!

It didn't look like rosy dawn to me, but it tastes like the milk of paradise. I used dry spanish anise "La violetera" and It was amazing.

Pernod is a difficult liqueur for me, and although the historical recipe is fascinating, the equal ratio with the gin seems off-balance. The problem isn't the flavour of the Pernod; rather the anesthetizing sensation. Unless, of course, the loss of feeling in the mouth is part of the magic of this cocktail... ;-)

Thanks Simon - I love this site dearly, and I am sorry to be a picky person, but I really meant it as help to make it even better! :-)

This picture doesn't match the cocktail - grenadine syrup is, well, red!

This shot may date back to before digital photography and I believe I made it with homemade grenadine. It's well overdue a re-shoot and I've added it to my to-do list. Many thanks for bringing it to my attention.
