Absinthe Drip Cocktail (Czech method)

0

Absinthe served the Czech way: a sugar cube soaked in absinthe is set alight, and the caramelised remains are then melted into the glass with dripped cold water. Strong and anise-led, with a light caramel sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Rest a slotted absinthe spoon across the rim of the glass and set the sugar cube on it.
  2. Pour the absinthe slowly over the cube so it soaks through and runs into the glass.
  3. Light the soaked cube and let it burn until the sugar caramelises.
  4. Poke a small hole in the cap of a cold mineral water bottle and drip the water over what is left of the sugar, so it melts and falls into the glass.
  5. Drop in ice, stir and serve.
