Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 30 ml Absinthe - One measure, and measure it - absinthe is not a thing to guess at
- 120 ml Champagne - Very cold, and a dry one; cava or a good prosecco will do the job
Quick version
- Absinthe in a chilled glass, champagne on top, and watch it turn cloudy.
Method
- Chill the champagne thoroughly, and the glass with it.
- Pour the absinthe into the glass.
- Top up slowly with the champagne - four parts to one.
- Do not stir it. Let it find its own pale, opalescent colour, which is what the drink is for.
