The May cocktail: Absinthe Frappée

What could be refreshing in the unbearable heat? A low-alcohol cocktail with vegetal notes? And above all easy to achieve… Bingo! Here is Absinthe Frappée, made with Larusée Verte absinthe.

The so simple recipe

You might need:

• 3cl absinthe Larusée Verte
• 1cl of cane sugar syrup
• 6cl of sparkling mineral water
• 6 mint leaves
• ice…

Gently crush the mint leaves with a pestle in a shaker, then add absinthe Larusée Verte, syrup and ice. Shake vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds, then pour into a glass filled with crushed ice. Top with mineral water, stir gently and garnish with fresh mint. It’s already ready!

If you want to add a light citrus note to your cocktail, add a lime wedge or a grapefruit zest.
