Absinthe Old Fashioned
+ 1 Likes
Submitted on: February 28, 2025
If you’ve ever been hesitant about absinthe-based cocktails, this one might just change your mind! The Barrel-Aged Absinthe from Absinthia takes center stage, with its bold anise flavors beautifully mellowed by the aging process—kind of like how leftovers somehow taste even better the next day. The added depth from the barrel aging brings a whole new level of complexity to this classic drink. For an extra twist, I smoked this cocktail with hickory chips—but that’s totally optional!

Editor's Note
Barrel-aged absinthe replaces whiskey in this riff, trading grain spice for deep anise and oak. Elderflower adds a floral lift that bridges the gap between the spirit and the bitters.
