Fifty drinks featuring the barely-legal spirit, both classic and contemporary. Absinthe Cocktails is devoted entirely to cocktails made with barely-legal absinthe. Since this spirit was legalized in the US in 2007, the popularity of "the Green Fairy" has exploded. This book has something to suit everyone's taste—traditionalists will learn how to properly mix absinthe like an old pro with thirty recipes for classic cocktails, while modern absinthe lovers can experiment with twenty contemporary drink formulas from such trendsetting bars as Los Angeles's Varnish and the Lonsdale in London. Absinthe Cocktails gives going green an entirely new meaning!
