Cocktail Ă la Louisiane
The Absinthe Minded Martini is a confident reimagining of the classic martini. Absinthe lends its signature herbal depth to a foundation of gin and dry vermouth, while Grand Marnier brings a refined citrus warmth that ties the composition together. Finished with an orange peel, this is a cocktail for those who appreciate precision and complexity in equal measure.
Necromancer Cocktail
Rooted in the storied tradition of the Corpse Reviver cocktail (a lineage dating back to the 1870s), the Necromancer is the considered work of New York mixologist Mayur Subbarao. By substituting orange liqueur with elderflower, Subbarao lets Absinthe’s distinctive character shine: its anise and fennel notes are beautifully offset by bright citrus and subtle floral accents. The result is precise, layered, and quietly compelling. We recommend Absinthia Absinthe Blanche for this cocktail due to its refined character and authentic Swiss recipe heritage.
Mystique: The Absinthe Margarita Cocktail
A bold fusion of Absinthe Blanche and tequila with a hint of bitters creates a cocktail as intriguing as the Green Fairy herself.
Arsenic & Old Lace
The Arsenic & Old Lace cocktail is a study in quiet complexity. Gin and dry vermouth form a composed, classic base, while crème de violette and Absinthia Absinthe Blanche introduce a whisper of floral intrigue and anise depth.
Fairy 75
This recipe is a botanical reimagining of the Classic French 75 where Absinthe steps in for gin, lending its signature anise depth to the champagne’s effervescence. Celebratory by nature, and a fitting tribute to National Absinthe Day!
Absinthia’s California Dream
Absinthia’s California Dream is a study in the art of the louche. Absinthia Absinthe Verte and anisette liqueur meet a measured dash of Angostura bitters, transforming over ice into an opalescent moment.
Absgroni
The Absgroni is a refined departure from the classic Negroni. Featuring our Barrel Aged Absinthe, with its smooth, lingering vanilla finish, takes the place of gin, lending a depth and warmth that elevates the familiar trinity of bitter, sweet, and spirit into something altogether more distinguished.
Broken Shoe Shiner
The Broken Shoe Shiner is the work of Stephen Cole, crafted behind the bar at Chicago’s legendary Violet Hour. A cocktail destination that helped define the city’s modern mixology scene. Featured in Rogue Cocktails, this anise-forward composition of Absinthe, BĂ©nĂ©dictine, pineapple juice, and Aperol is layered and compelling.
Absinthe Dessert
The Absinthe Dessert cocktail is an indulgent meeting of contrasts featuring Absinthia Absinthe Verte’s herbal complexity tempered by the velvet richness of Irish cream and KahlĂşa’s deep coffee notes, finished with a whisper of cinnamon. Decadent without being excessive, and far more interesting than your average after-dinner drink.
Absinthe Cooler
The Absinthe Cooler is a long, refreshing take on classic whiskey cocktail tradition. Angostura bitters and lemon juice provide a balanced foundation of warmth and brightness, lifted by the effervescence of ginger ale. A measured finish of Absinthe elevates the familiar into something altogether more intriguing.
Absinthe Frappe Raspberry Brandy
The Absinthe Frappé Raspberry Brandy is a study in delicate balance. Absinthia Absinthe Blanche gives a refined herbal backbone, while Raspberry Eau De Vie Brandy and Orgeat syrup bring a fruited sweetness. This is all tempered by bright lemon and the silky lift of aquafaba that gives the frappé a smooth texture. The cocktail is then topped with Berry LaCroix and orange bitters, then finished with an Absinthe mist.
Absinthe God
The Absinthe God is a cocktail that makes no apologies for putting Absinthe front and center. Our Absinthia Absinthe Verte is crafted with the kind of careful ingredient selection that forms the bold, herbal foundation of this drink. Small Hand Foods Orgeat syrup adds a rich, nuanced sweetness, balanced by bright lemon and the velvety lift of egg white, with Angostura bitters lending a final layer of complexity. You’ll be impressed by this confident cocktail!
Absinthe Minded Martini
The Absinthe Minded Martini is a confident reimagining of the classic martini. Absinthe lends its signature herbal depth to a foundation of gin and dry vermouth, while Grand Marnier brings a refined citrus warmth that ties the composition together. Finished with an orange peel, this is a cocktail for those who appreciate precision and complexity in equal measure.
Absinthe Margarita
The Absinthe Margarita is a bold and unexpected departure from the classic. Absinthia Absinthe Blanche brings crisp character to the familiar trio of tequila, triple sec, and fresh citrus, while Midori adds a subtle sweetness that rounds out the composition. This is a familiar but distinctive cocktail that’s perfect to serve for any occasion.
Absinthe Paralysis
The Absinthe Paralysis is a playful yet polished take on the classic Collins recipe. Absinthia Absinthe Verte brings its characteristic herbal depth to the creamy base of milk and sugar. Topped with lemon-lime soda to create a light and effervescent cocktail.
Absinthe Suissesse
The Absinthe Suissesse is a New Orleans classic, and one of the most elegant expressions of absinthe in cocktail form. Absinthia Absinthe Verte pairs with Small Hand Foods Orgeat syrup and a silky blend of egg white and single cream, producing a drink that is at once rich and remarkably light. Served over shaved ice, it offers a welcome and refined respite from the heat.
Absinthe Phosphate
The Absinthe Phosphate is a nod to the golden age of the American soda fountain, where acid phosphate was a bartender’s secret weapon for adding a bright, tart edge to spirits. Absinthia Absinthe Verte brings its full herbal character to the glass, balanced by sweet vermouth and the clean, bracing lift of acid phosphate. Served over shaved ice, it is a cooling drink with deep roots in cocktail history.
Agave Sour
The Agave Sour is a crisp and balanced meeting of two spirits rooted in botanical tradition. Tequila blanco and Absinthia Absinthe Blanche bring complementary herbal and agave character, brightened by fresh lime and a house-made agave syrup. A silky lift of egg white ties the composition together, producing a sour that is clean, refined, and refreshing to drink.
