ABSINTHE SUISSESSE

Camper English, a San Francisco-based writer, adapted this classic drink recipe to showcase the use of absinthe. Here, absinthe is paired with orgeat, an almond-flavored syrup. The egg white and cream give the drink a frothy, milkshake-like texture. (If salmonella is a problem in your area, omit the egg white or substitute pasteurized liquid egg whites.) In New Orleans, many people consider this a breakfast drink.

SUISSESSE COCKTAIL

Based on the Suissesse cocktail in Stanley Clisby Arthur's Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix 'Em from 1937, this drink calls for much more absinthe than most cocktails featuring the strong anise spirit. But it's balanced with cream, frothy egg white and sweet almond-flavored syrup. It is traditionally shaken but can be made in the blender for an even frothier outcome.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh herbs, ripe fruits, and top-shelf spirits will make all the difference in the taste of your absinthe.
  • Pay attention to the anise and fennel ratio. The classic absinthe Suissesse recipe calls for equal parts anise and fennel, but you can adjust this ratio to suit your own taste. If you like a more pronounced anise flavor, use more anise. If you prefer a more subtle anise flavor, use more fennel.
  • Use cold water. The cold water will help to extract the flavors from the herbs and spices.
  • Let the mixture steep for at least 24 hours. The longer the mixture steeps, the more flavorful the absinthe will be.
  • Filter the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. This will remove any solids from the mixture.
  • Bottle the absinthe and store it in a cool, dark place. Absinthe can be stored for up to six months.
