Cocktail Description

Like a delicate cloud settling over an alpine meadow, the Absinthe Suisesse transforms absinthe into a sophisticated creamy delight that even the most hesitant anise-skeptic might embrace.

This elegant cocktail balances the distinctive herbal notes of Pernod Absinthe with rich almond orgeat and a silky combination of dairy, creating a luxurious texture with gentle anise flavors that are surprisingly approachable. The egg white adds a velvety mouthfeel while the crushed ice dilutes the potent absinthe just enough to reveal its complex botanical character. Perfect for afternoon gatherings when you want something both refreshing and conversation-worthy, the Absinthe Suisesse makes an excellent digestif or accompaniment to a cheese course featuring creamy brie or goat cheese. Despite requiring multiple ingredients and a proper shake technique, this cocktail isn't particularly difficult to prepare—though your guests will certainly think you've gone to great lengths when they see the beautiful mint-garnished result.
