Absinthe Cocktail

Tonight we had an 'Absinthe Cocktail'  (page 27 of the Bartender's Guide).  It tasted like Absinthe (surprise!) diluted by the Orange Bitters and Anisette.

A nice, enjoyable drink for a summer afternoon.

1 1/2 oz Absinthe Substitute (Pernod)
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoon Anisette (LeRoux)
1 dash Orange Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I chose to garnish with an orange slice.

Cheers!
