Absinthe Olde-style
Contains Alcohol:  Yes
Style: Cocktail
Glass Type: Old Fashioned Glass
Ingredients: 3

Recipe:
2 oz Absinthe
1 tbsp granulated Sugar
1/2 tspliquid wormwood Extract

Instructions

This is as close to the original Absinthe as you can get. Absente is very similar, but substitutes "Southern Wormwood" - which is thujone free - so it can be sold legally anywhere. Wormwood Extract is safe in moderation, and is also legal. Mixing with ice and Sugar produces a proper "louche", as per the original preparation method, which entailed pouring iced Water over Sugar cubes set on a slotted spoon balanced over ones glass of Absinthe - the shaker method works better, and is less complex.Pour the Absente Liqueur (legal to import), granulated Sugar, and 20 drops (approx 1/2 tsp) liquid wormwood Extract (available from many health food stores - Herb Pharm is a good choice) into a shaker with ice. Shake well, strain into an old-fashioned glass, and serve.
