I wonder if the "Old Absinthe House" in New Orleans will start serving it again. They have been using a liquor called Herbsaint as a replacement for many years.
The Absinthe House Frappe Our signature drink - created here in the 1860's by Cayetano Ferrer Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice add: 1 1/4 ounce of Herbsaint 1/4 ounce of Anisette top with a splash of soda water back to top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sazerac One of the definitive New Orleans Cocktails Chill a rocks glass by filling with ice and cold water Fill a shaker with ice and add: 1 1/2 ounces Old Overholt or other Rye Whiskey 1 tsp. simple syrup (sugar water) 3 dashes each Angostura and Peychaud Bitters Stir until mixed. Empty the ice and water from rocks glass. Add approx. 1 tsp. of Herbsaint to glass Coat glass with Herbsaint by 'rolling the glass' with your hands or you can try the traditional tossing of the glass (be careful!) Drain off any additional Herbsaint left in the glass. Strain the rye-bitters mixture into the Herbsaint coated glass Garnish with a lemon twist back to top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old Fashioned Still made the 'old fashioned' way here In a rocks glass muddle a slice of orange and a cherry add 2 drops Angostura Bitters and 2 drops Peychaud Bitters Add 1 - 1 1/2 ounce of sugar water 1 1/4 ounce of Bourbon (we like Maker's Mark for ours) Garnish with a slice of orange back to top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Absinthe Suissesse Classic New Orleans Breakfast drink sworn by many to be a cure-all for hangovers In a tall glass add the following: 1 whole egg 1 1/4 ounce Herbsaint 1/2 ounce Orgeat Syrup (almond Syrup) Add Crushed Ice and fill with Milk Mix under a drink mixer or a blender until frothy serve straight up back to top
