Absinthe cooler
Sonia @sonia
I remember my Dad buying absinthe once and we all tried a tiny sip aged 16 - neat!! It was hard to drink but legendary of course because of its strength. I’d be interested to try it in a well made cocktail like this to see what I thought of it now!

Wow, to drink absinthe neat, you have to be brave! 😅 Normally it's drunk just with water and ice (no sugar cubes necessary), like pastis (of which absinthe is the ancestor)! Be aware that all absinthes are not created equal, several "modern" ones only contain wormwood, they should (like pastis) also contain aniseed, fennel, star anise etc. Good luck mixing! 👍:)
