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
