One naughty grandma drink!

The minty-hued Absinthe and Old Lace, created by Jackson Cannon at Boston’s Eastern Standard, is one naughty grandma drink! It’s a delicious, absinthe-laced spin on the retro Grasshopper dessert cocktail. Bittermens’ Xocolatl Mole Bitters are well worth seeking out, but in a pinch, shaved bittersweet chocolate makes a suitable garnish. Makes 1 drink

You will need

1 oz dry Gin ½ oz Absinthe verte ½ oz green Crème De Menthe (Jackson likes Bourdeaux-made Marie Brizard’s) ½ oz simple Syrup (equal parts sugar and water) ½ oz Half And Half 1 Egg White Garnish: 1 dash Bittermens’ Xocolatl Mole Bitters or shaved Bittersweet Chocolate
