Absinthe Mania (Part 1) with Matt Cadwallader

This week, we return with part one of our first ever two parter! We're joined by the wonderful Caddy to discuss all things absinthe - and with so much to say about one of history's most storied spirits, it's no wonder that this was an especially long and fascinating conversation!  

Cocktail Discussed:

Midnight Sun:

1 1/2 oz. Mephisto Absinthe

1 oz. 64° Reykjavik Distillery Crowberry Liqueur

4 oz. Field Recordings Pet Nat Dry Hop

Pour the absinthe into a champagne flute, and slowly pour the Pet Nat on top until the absinthe achieves a full louche. Float the crowberry on top by slowly pouring the liqueur over the back of a barspoon, garnish with a lemon twist, and serve.
