Absinthe Martini
A classic Gin Martini made aniseed fresh with a splash of absinthe. Like me, you may prefer the bite-sized version of this cocktail served straight-up...

Right ChrisM but adjusted half measures still incomplete? So for Nick & Nora: 37.5ml gin, 2.5ml absinthe but only 7.5ml dry vermouth? And no, cocktail hour is still to come. :)

This is great as per the recipe, serve extremely chilled, in a chilled glass. I think there's an error in the notes about the bite-sized version, IMO this should be 37.5ml gin rather than 75ml!

I like it - half the amount of absinthe is enough, and I say that as an absinthe lover.
It’s a big martini though!

We made this martini with Old Tom Gin. It is tad on sweet side but works well with the Absinthe and Star Anise. Its a lovely Martini, a keeper

Works well as recommended in Nick and Nora with a twist

Love martinis and absinthe but felt this neither one nor the other and the absinthe overpowered the drink. possibly cut to a rinse,

Love this drink but does not need star anise

Great variation of a Martini. You must get this one very cold and let is mellow a minute or two to get the full impact of the cocktail.
