Absinthe cocktails

Whereas absinthe is used for drinking pure, it is increasingly being used today to mix cocktails. There are no limits: whether with lemonade, cola or fruit juices or in combination with gin, blue curacao or rum – the unusual taste invites you to experiment. Especially in summer, the aniseed note of absinthe is very refreshing for cool summer drinks.

But who thinks absinthe cocktails have just emerged, is wrong. Already in the 19th century one of the first cocktails, the “Sazerac” was mixed. The mixture became famous as the “official cocktail of New Orleans”. On the Sazerac, the tumblers were first wetted with absinthe and then mixed with a mix of whiskey, cognac and bitter.
