Glad Eye Cocktail

Cocktail Description

The Glad Eye Cocktail delivers absinthe's mysterious allure with a refreshing burst of mint that dances on your palate like a forbidden romance.

This elegant cocktail combines the anise-forward complexity of Pernod Absinthe with the bright, cooling qualities of Tempus Fugit Crème De Menthe, creating a sophisticated balance between herbal intensity and sweet mint freshness. While potent, the dilution from shaking with ice tames absinthe's characteristic bite without diminishing its fascinating botanical character. The Glad Eye Cocktail is surprisingly approachable to make at home, requiring just a few quality ingredients and basic shaking technique. It shines as an after-dinner digestif or a contemplative nightcap when you want something more intriguing than ordinary options. The cocktail pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, where the mint amplifies cocoa notes, or alongside a cheese plate featuring creamy, mild selections that won't compete with its herbal complexity.
