ABSINTHE FRAPPE

ABSINTHE FRAPPE

This classic 1917 cocktail offers a refreshing and potent anise-forward experience, blending the distinct herbal notes of absinthe with the sweet, honeyed complexity of Bénédictine. Served ice-cold, the drink is shaken until frosty to create a crisp, invigorating texture that perfectly balances the intense botanical flavors. Ideally enjoyed as an elegant aperitif, this frappe delivers a sophisticated chill perfect for warm evenings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shaved ice (Quantity estimated to fill a medium bar glass.)
  • 1 teaspoon Bénédictine
  • 1 ounce Absinthe (Originally '1 pony'. Converted to modern measurement (1 pony = 1 fluid ounce).)

Instructions

  1. 1Fill a cocktail shaker or medium bar glass full of shaved ice.
  2. 2Add the Bénédictine and Absinthe to the ice.
  3. 3Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker takes on a frosty appearance. Strain into a chilled six-ounce shell glass (or coupe glass) and serve immediately.
