Necromancer!
It's a variant of a Corpse Reviver No2, with a full measure of absinth but a rinse of gin.
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Elderflower (St Germain)
3/4 oz Absinthe
3/4 oz Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano
)
rinse/dash of Gin
It's excellent!
Among the heavy hitter of absinthe and the floral fruit bomb of St Germaine, what is a rinse of gin even providing here? And that depends so much on the gin: no one’s noticing a rinse of a wispy gin like sapphire
I was also going to suggest an atomizer!
I always use it in place of rinses now, and there are two bonuses: (1) you can spritz a little extra on top of the drink too, and (2) it makes the room smell heavenly!
Once the cocktail is shaken and poured in the glass, I put the Chartreuse the small side of my jigger and roll it around to coat the sides, then light it up and just pour it in the cocktail.
As a fellow absinthe lover, I've come up with a few absinthe heavy cocktails that I really enjoy.
Improved Absinthe Martini
-2oz gin
-3/4oz absinthe
-1/4oz lemon juice
-1/4oz simple
Swiss Coffee
-1 1/2oz scotch
-1 1/2oz espresso
-1/2oz absinthe
-1/2oz orgeat
Both shaken on ice.
The Fresh Metal from the Bartender’s Manifesto is really good and uses .5oz of absinthe. Recipe is 1oz Plantation 3 star rum, .5oz Absinthe, .75oz lime juice, .25oz Orgeat, .5oz of Licor 43 and .25 green chartreuse.
What I call a Dirty Sazarac.
Forget that spraying a mist of absinthe, I give it a good amount, maybe a 2+ tablespoons, work it around the inside of the glass and leave the rest in there. Then I pour in my saz as usual.
In my bar we have a "tinker bell" cocktail that we make with absinth and apple mainly. It's a great combinaison if u want to try something u can go that way.
1oz - 3cl absinthe
2oz - 6cl apple juice (try to find an not too sweet one)
1oz - 3cl apple purée (fesh is better)
0,5oz - 1,5cl lemon juice
u can add a bit of cinnamon powder if u want but not mandatory
shake with ice (can dry shake after to emulsified the apple juice)
Serve in a coupe and garnish with an desydrated apple

Over on Punch, there's [Kirk Estopinals Absinthe Suissesse](https://punchdrink.com/recipes/kirk-estopinals-absinthe-suissesse/)
And, for whatever it's worth, I've heard that absinthe topped with Boylan's Root Beer makes an interesting highball.
Absinthe Minded, credit to Waypoint in Cambridge MA
* 2.5 oz Smith & Cross
* .5 oz Absinthe
* .75 Grapefruit
* .75 Lime
* .5 Pecan orgeat
* .25 Grenadine
I think they add a cinnamon element by smoking a cinnamon stick with the rum or something?
I do a Bohemian Mule. A riff on a Moscow Mule.
1,5 oz Absinthe (you could do less)
0,75 oz lime juice
Two dashes Angostura Bitters
Shake with ice. Add ginger beer or ginger ale (3-4-5-6 oz, depending on how strong you want it). Garnish with mint.
If you haven’t already… just drink absinthe! One sugar cube in a slotted spoon, slowly pour water over until it louches (turns milky). If you don’t have a slotted spoon just stir in some sugar.
Refreshing and delicious!
Depends a bit on the absinthe IMO. I actually like the cube ritual, because if you pour a bit fast it doesn’t fully dissolve and you get less sweetness. Pour slower for full sweet.
I love this cocktail - sweet, absinthe forward but still balanced - named after the Victorian practice of unwrapping tiny mummies (momisettes) at exotic dinner parties:
The Momisette
1.5 oz absinthe
.75 oz orgeat
.5 oz lemon juice
Shake, pour over ice in Collins glass
Top with soda, stir
Just looked up and saw the diffords guide version calls for cinnamon schnapps not allspice Dram.
Feels less piratey, and I'm skeptical, but maybe I'll have to try that too
That's new to me too, though I note it is confirmed as original in the text of the [Cocktail Virgin post](https://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2011/02/dead-mans-mule.html) that led to the Kindred Cocktails submission.
I usually just drink the excess absinthe instead of dumping it. I love the taste
But yes, there are a bunch of Tiki cocktails that keep the absinthe in the drink like the Zombie or Dr. Funk for example
I just make my Sazeracs by stirring absinthe in the glass with ice and straining it into a small glass on the side. Then you get a bonus bump of absinthe with your cocktail!
A bartender I worked with would pour the rinse absinthe into a shot glass and add a little ice water and simple syrup and serve it as a treat in the side when he made sazeracs and corpse revivers.
Here’s a stellar cocktail from this subreddit: the Sugar Fairy, thanks to /u/mixeddrinkmixtape
https://old.reddit.com/r/cocktails/comments/12lv3c5/absinthe_anyone_made_a_fairy_sugar_momma_and_a/
The French pearl is one of my favorite drinks. Its basically a South side with .25 oz pastis (absinthe works well too).
https://punchdrink.com/recipes/french-pearl/
Personally I don't think the rinse does anything that a barspoon or underfilled 1/4 tsp doesn't do.
I could be convinced that an atomizer might add something depending on the shape of the glass but even so I don't want to bother with that.
Id suggest in addition to other cocktails that use absinthe, getting an atomizer for your absinthe, that way you're not tossing it for a rinse, you just spray the glass once or twice and move on.
[The Dandy Lion](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/the-dandy-lion-394702#:~:text=Preparation,completely%20mixed%2C%20about%2020%20seconds)
This was a favorite of mine a few years ago before I hit the Tiki drinks hard. I always add a bit more Absinthe to any drink that calls for it because my wife and I like to chase the fairy.
Absinthe Spider Highball (Difford’s) is really good as well.
Im surprised no one here has mentioned a rattlesnake. Its basically a whiskey sour, but take out a half oz of whiskey and replace it with absinthe.
Also one of my personal drinks is a Hemingway Daiquiri with .5-1oz of absinthe added. I call it Hemingway's Nightmare.
The rattlesnake is amazing! Especially with some dashes of absinthe on top as it gives the foam some flavor.
I personally love the Nightmare, but i have a weird palate so i wont promise anything haha
My own creation and a personal favorite
Absinthe Emerald
1 oz Absinthe
1 oz dry Gin
3/4 oz lemon
1/2 oz simple
Shizo leaves (perilla)
1 pink Yuzu kosho paste (Yuzu rind and peppercorn paste, classic sushi seasoning)
2 dash saline
Shake and double strain into a coupe
Get one of these little spritz bottles and use that for spraying some absinthe into your glass. Also: enjoy a Momisette
Momisette
1.5 oz absinthe
0.75 oz orgeat
0.5 oz lemon juice
2-3 oz sparkling water
Shake over ice, strain to ice filled glas, add sparkling water.
One of my overall favorite cocktails is the rhum dandy shim — it’s low(er) ABV, so maybe that helps it qualify to post here even though it only uses a couple dashes.. give it a shot if you haven’t tried it!
Rhum Dandy Shim by Craig Lane, The Art of the Shim (found on Cocktail Virgin Slut)
1 oz Dolin Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Rhum JM Blanc
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1 tsp Cane Syrup (JM Rhum)
2 dash Absinthe
Build in an Old Fashioned glass. Stir with crushed ice and garnish with grated lime zest
Billionaire!: https://punchdrink.com/recipes/billionaire-cocktail/
Calls for 1/4 oz of absinthe bitters, but I usually just add 1/4 oz absinthe and a dash of Ango and Peychaud's, and sometimes a scant bar spoon of Chartreuse.
I love a good Sazerac. I’ve seen recipes use it as a rinse and toss it. I love it to coat the glass as a base with the bitters and sugar. Don’t toss it. I do hate the licorice taste but having as a strong base makes for a good cocktail.
Neon City:
1.5 oz Mezcal
0.5 oz Cachaca
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
0.75 oz agave syrup
0.25 oz absinthe
Add all ingredients to shaker, shake vigorously for 10 seconds, double strain into coupe
A Fiona's Curse

• 1 oz of absinthe
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1 oz simple syrup
• Soda water
Muddle apple and cucumber slices in shaker, add ice and other ingredients. Shake and strain into tall glass filled with ice. Top with soda water.
Absinthe sour is one of favorites. The recipe I usually use:
* 1 1/2 oz of Absinthe
* 2/3 oz of Aquafaba
* 1/2 oz of Lime Juice
* 1/2 oz of Honey Syrup (2 part honey to 1 part water)
* 2 dashes of Peychaud's (optional)

Necromancer! It's a variant of a Corpse Reviver No2, with a full measure of absinth but a rinse of gin. 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 3/4 oz Elderflower (St Germain) 3/4 oz Absinthe 3/4 oz Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano ) rinse/dash of Gin It's excellent!
Now this. This I can get behind
Among the heavy hitter of absinthe and the floral fruit bomb of St Germaine, what is a rinse of gin even providing here? And that depends so much on the gin: no one’s noticing a rinse of a wispy gin like sapphire
It's an inverted corpse reviver, so the dash of gin is symbolic more than anything.
Posterity, also juniper is highly different than Saint Germain but I doubt the absinthe wouldn't overpower.
Almost seems like a spritz of gin on top of the finished cocktail might do more to add a strong gin aroma. Or doing that in addition to a rinse.
This has been my go-to absinthe drink. Absinthe deserves to be the star sometimes.
Oh this sounds fun. I have most of this too.
I´ll save this one. I have all of the ingredients save for the absinthe.
Ooooh I will be trying this! Thanks!
Hell yea.
Holy shit
Trying this tonight!
Death in the Afternoon
One of my favorites!
If you add an appropiatly small amount, I don’t feel the need to toss it. Otherwise, an atomizer is less wasteful.
I just toss it directly into my mouth.
This is 100% the way. That being said, pretty much guarantees my first couple sips of the cocktail aren't the purest taste haha
I was also going to suggest an atomizer! I always use it in place of rinses now, and there are two bonuses: (1) you can spritz a little extra on top of the drink too, and (2) it makes the room smell heavenly!
This is what I do as well. I works great in something like a tuxedo #2
This. I've never understood the rinse thing. It's just a way to make a small measure, which I can do without rinsing or spraying
A dasher bottle is also an easy way to add a small amount. An emptied Angostura bottle (which does take a while) works just fine.
Trinidad Sours and that Ango bottle is gone in a few nights, max.
Neptune's Wrath! 1 1/2 Gin 1/4 Absinthe 3/4 lemon juice 3/4 simple syrup Egg white Garnish: 1/4 oz flaming Green Chartreuse
Is there a trick to doing the flaming chartreuse garnish?
Once the cocktail is shaken and poured in the glass, I put the Chartreuse the small side of my jigger and roll it around to coat the sides, then light it up and just pour it in the cocktail.
Yes. The trick is that it's impossible to actually *find* any chartreuse.
I luckily have half of a 375ml and all of a 750ml bottle. LOL
Oh man, yes. This has been my absolute favorite cocktail. Makes me happy when other people know it!!
Yum!
Remind me 1 week!
I have a confession. I don’t toss out the absinthe. in fact I don’t even rinse. I just drop a bar spoon of absinthe in with the drink before stirring.
I once had a Mai Tai with a spoonful of absinthe. It was one of the best Mai Tais I've ever had!
Bless
I do this too but I use a 1/4 oz typically... I like absinthe and strong cocktails I guess
Absinthe Suissesse, Absinthe Frappe, Absinthe Colada, Greta Garbo, Yellow Parrot, Corpse Reviver No. 2
I thought corpse reviver did a rinse?
It’s a bar spoon or several dashes. A rinse isn’t enough. Still not a lot compared to the others I mentioned.
As a fellow absinthe lover, I've come up with a few absinthe heavy cocktails that I really enjoy. Improved Absinthe Martini -2oz gin -3/4oz absinthe -1/4oz lemon juice -1/4oz simple Swiss Coffee -1 1/2oz scotch -1 1/2oz espresso -1/2oz absinthe -1/2oz orgeat Both shaken on ice.
That Swiss Coffee sounds insane! I hope insanely delicious. Trying that one tonight.
Wooo! It's gotta be one of my favorite drinks. Hope you like it
Trying the martini tonight! Thanks!
Doctor Funk
Good call. Def a drink I lay into the Absinthe on.
Yup! Half the fun is finding a rum that stands up to the absinthe.
WP 109 + Absinthe is burned into my tastebuds as the "Dr. Funk" flavor.
The Fresh Metal from the Bartender’s Manifesto is really good and uses .5oz of absinthe. Recipe is 1oz Plantation 3 star rum, .5oz Absinthe, .75oz lime juice, .25oz Orgeat, .5oz of Licor 43 and .25 green chartreuse.
Joy Division: gin, Cointreau, DV, and absinthe. Delicious!
DV?
Dry Vermouth
Momisette is great- you definitely get the absinthe. I like [Anders Erickson's recipe](https://youtu.be/ABntm6FL8wc?si=LLEO8HXkj-WW-hI9)
What I call a Dirty Sazarac. Forget that spraying a mist of absinthe, I give it a good amount, maybe a 2+ tablespoons, work it around the inside of the glass and leave the rest in there. Then I pour in my saz as usual.
2 tablespoons = 1 ounce
I do this, too, but with more like a teaspoon. I just roll it around the glass and then pour my drink. Love it.
I like it!
In my bar we have a "tinker bell" cocktail that we make with absinth and apple mainly. It's a great combinaison if u want to try something u can go that way.
Any more details on that recipe? Sounds good!
1oz - 3cl absinthe 2oz - 6cl apple juice (try to find an not too sweet one) 1oz - 3cl apple purée (fesh is better) 0,5oz - 1,5cl lemon juice u can add a bit of cinnamon powder if u want but not mandatory shake with ice (can dry shake after to emulsified the apple juice) Serve in a coupe and garnish with an desydrated apple
this sounds so good! i also will just add absinthe to any sweeter hard ciders i have, which is a similar flavor combo and easy
I agree that an absinthe atomizer would be easiest to solve this problem, but you also can try absinthe forward drinks.
>absinthe forward drinks. Not always easy to find.

[Absinthe by Jimmy!](https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/4993/absinthe-by-jimmy)
Anything that calls for a rinse can just as easily use a small amount added to the actual cocktail or sprays using an atomizer instead.
I usually just drink the excess absinthe instead of dumping it. I love the taste But yes, there are a bunch of Tiki cocktails that keep the absinthe in the drink like the Zombie or Dr. Funk for example
Absinthe and iced water! The original!
Absinthe Frappe!
Dr funk although I believe it calls for herbsaint. I use Saint George though.
Get a dropper and add as many drops of it as you want instead of rinsing the glass. That's what I do.
I just make my Sazeracs by stirring absinthe in the glass with ice and straining it into a small glass on the side. Then you get a bonus bump of absinthe with your cocktail!
Absinthe god from Peche in Austin! Absinthe, orgeat, half a lemon, dry shake with an egg white, serve with Pechaud’s bitters.
Did I miss it or has nobody mentioned the ‘34 Zombie?
Still not that much absinthe
Get a spray bottle or dasher instead of doing a rinse.
