Hi John. Please click on "measures and measuring" immediately under the recipe above for a full explanation of all measures, including dashes.

While this is an extremely helpful article (in the same vein as the Easy Jigger is a helpful tool), it still leaves "2 dashes" somewhat unmeasurable without a dasher or dropper (unless one is to say measure absinthe to 1.25 ml, top with gin to 2.5 total ml, and then add half of this to the drink, maybe transferring via barspoon to ensure success based on the volume remaining in the jigger). An alternative way to deliver sub-1.25 ml amounts is to use an atomizer (particularly as this has become a fashionable way of performing "absinthe rinses"). This begs the question whether this has (or could) be measured like the 41 drops in the article. I assume this might vary between atomizers, but if relatively reproducible, might be a worthy addition to the article. I have attempted twice and found 14 sprays approximates 1.25 ml, but each time I've done it, there's always a couple sprays that don't "feel full".... for whatever that's worth...

Yes, on that note, some people seem to add the absinthe to the drink as a spray - rather like a rinse. I experienced this last week with a CR no. 2.

Brilliant, thanks! On a side note, are you guys working on extending the webshop to Australia any time soon? So many tempting goodies!

We are developing our shop here in the UK but we are a long way from being in a position to roll this our to other countries. We're still a tiny family-owned business. One day we hope to grow a bit bigger!
