The cocktail of the day was ... a 'Hasty Cocktail' (on page 96 of the bartender's guide). It is an interesting combination of Absinthe with vermouth and gin, quite good and worth repeating.
3/4 oz Dry Vermouth Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Gin (Booth's)
1/4 teaspoon Pernod
1 teaspoon Grenadine
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with an orange slice.
Enjoy!
