Absinthe FrappeDo you have any idea what instigated the absinthe prohibition in the United States? The answer is ‘Absinthe Frappé’ – one of the most popular American absinthe cocktails. In 1904 the famous Victor Herbert wrote the Broadway operetta “It happened in Nordland”, which contained a song about absinthe as well as called in the honor of it, written by Glenn MacDonough. The song became scandalously popular, and was played in almost every absinthe bar all over the country. Thus, it speeded up the introduction of the absinthe ban in the US on July 25, 1912.

Before starting the preparation of the renowned cocktail, make sure you have got at your disposal the following:

  • absinthe (2 ounces),
  • anisette (one splash),
  • mineral water (2 ounces),
  • simple sugar syrup (1 table spoon),
  • crashed ice (full cocktail glass).

anisetteWhite Creme de MentheWhen tired of drinking absinthe through the traditional French ritual, one starts experimenting. It is true to say that it is most pleasant to play with one’s own homemade spirit (click here to learn how to make absinthe), however if you are too lazy for that the absinthe manufacturers have already taken the pain for you, so that you can use the finished product.

To prepare ‘absinthe suissesse’ the following ingredients should be at hand:

  • absinthe (two ounces),
  • anisette (one splash),
  • white crème de menthe (half ounce),
  • raw egg white (one),
  • ice (three to five cubes).

You may care or not, but the creator of the drink was inspired by a Swiss girl, thus it was called in her honor. Could be she was plain and easy, but really nice that is why the shake is prepared and looks in a similar way.
