Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Absinthe
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz Orgeat Syrup
  • 0.5 oz Green Crème de Menthe
  • Fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  • Add absinthe, lime juice, orgeat syrup, and green crème de menthe to a highball glass.
  • Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice and use a swizzle stick or bar spoon to swizzle the mixture until well-chilled.
  • Top off the glass with more crushed ice and swizzle again to ensure everything is evenly mixed and chilled.
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For a more intense mint aroma, slap the fresh mint leaves between your hands before garnishing to release the oils.
  • If you don’t have a swizzle stick, a bar spoon works well to mix and chill the drink effectively.
  • To enhance the nuttiness, consider using roasted almond slivers as an extra garnish.
