Cocktails of Absinthe Brilliance

02/26/2009

The mind melting spirit, absinthe, has been legal in the US for a while now - the fears of people descending into madness just for drinking it having been alleviated.

Yet a lot of you haven't tried it, either because of its reputation, or because you didn't want to drink it the traditional way, mixed with water that's been poured over a sugar cube.

Le Tourment Vert Absinthe wants to change that. They've created "green fairy" infused cocktails using their traditional French absinthe that's made with grand wormwood and anise, along with other herbs like eucalyptus, rosemary, coriander, sage, and fennel.

The five recipes below are the ones they mixed exclusively for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. I'm sure they made it easier to sit through 10 hours of indie directed "art". And they're a good way for first timers to give absinthe a try. You know, before the madness sets in.
