HOWTO: The Most Perfect Absinthe Cocktail Ever

2:16 3-part video

mr_dowg and I have perfected our absinthe-drinking evenings with this substantial new recipe I invented quite by mistake. Unlike a 'Fairy Bomb' which is absinthe mixed with an energy drink, we save ourselves that silly dilution and make your standard Hemingway-named Death in the Afternoon by mixing the absinthe directly with spumante. However, on our first drink, and first drink only, we add a secret ingredient revealed only in the video - it jumpstarts your entire body, takes the bite out of that first cocktail, and creates that otherworldly color your used to seeing on the silver screen.

Happy Valentine's Day!
