Obituary

A Martini drowned in absinthe — gin, a whisper of dry vermouth, and a generous absinthe rinse. Bracing, anise-dark, and New Orleans to the bone.

Ingredients

• London Dry Gin2½ ounces
• Dry Vermouth½ ounce
• Absinthe¼ ounce

Directions

Stir gin, dry vermouth, and absinthe with ice until cold. Strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish.

Notes

A NOLA classic associated with the city's absinthe houses. Treat the absinthe as a heavy rinse, not a pour, or it overwhelms.
