About
Absinthe by Jimmy is a modern interpretation of the classic absinthe cocktail that bridges the gap between an absinthe drip and an absinthe sour by adding fresh lime juice. The lime brightens the herbaceous anise character, while the chilled water tames absinthe's intensity. It is an ideal gateway drink for anyone curious about absinthe but hesitant about its boldness.
Ingredients
0.5 oz Lime Juice
2 dash Angostura Bitters
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
1.5 oz Absinthe
1 oz Chilled Water
Instructions
- Combine the absinthe, lime juice, chilled water, simple syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir well for 20 seconds until chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe or old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube.
- Garnish with a lime twist.
