History

This is an Absinthe Drip without the usual complexity. As creator Hunter Newsome notes, "it's more convenient and consistent than dissolving a sugar cube but lacks the traditional ritualistic aesthetic."

Hunter Newsome submitted this recipe on Absinthe Day in 2023 for our Absinthe Drip page. It calls for "1.5oz absinthe, 0.25oz rich simple syrup, 3oz chilled water, top with ice and briefly stir. Or drop the ice and add extra an extra 1.5oz chilled water."
