Cocktail à la Louisiane

  • Absinthia Absinthe: Barrel Aged
  • Spirit Base: Rye

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.

Cocktail à la Louisiane

A New Orleans classic from 1937, built on rye and Benedictine, given lift by a trace of Absinthe and a shadow of Peychaud's. Rich, spiced, and unmistakably Southern in character. We chose our Barrel Aged Absinthe for this recipe, as its subtle oak and vanilla undertones harmonize beautifully with the cocktail’s distinctive elements. For a more traditional rendition, experience it with our Absinthe Verte.
