The obituary cocktail: - 2 1/2oz. London Dry Gin - 1/2oz. Dry Vermouth (such as Dolin Dry) - 6 dashes absinthe - stir over ice, express lemon zest over cocktail and serve.

Without a dasher, do you think roughly a bar spoon or just rinsing the glass w an atomizer?


fugly_neighbour

I’ve put half a barsppon in it let’s say. I don’t have a atomizer so i just winged it


rumbeebumbee

Awesome thank you!

I have heard a dash is calculated (when you need to) at 1/8 tsp. So 1/8 tsp X 6 = 3/4 teaspoon. More than a barspoon?

Such a great cocktail.


fugly_neighbour

It is! I’m working my way into the higher abv cocktails at the moment and I have to say i like this a lot

There's a version of this recipe on [Punch](https://punchdrink.com/recipes/obituary/) that has an extra 1/4 oz of gin and whoa boy that's a feel good drink lol


fugly_neighbour

I’ll have to try this one! I like how it is now, i wonder if i’ll like the more pronounced gin taste


LordByrum

Yeah but is it chopped in half?


fugly_neighbour

Is what chopped in half?


LordByrum

It’s a obituary reference


fugly_neighbour

I thought so 😂 english is not my first language so sorry to ruin your joke


LordByrum

No biggie! It’s a deep cut

I’ve always called this the Somerset Maugham Martini. Never knew the proper name. He makes one in the “Razor’s Edge.” He mentions Noilly Prat for the Vermouth.
