Instructions
Dissolve sugar with sparkling water, add vermouth and absinthe. Add the egg white. (Dry shake first, please!) Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a champagne glass (coupe?) in which there is a cherry with creme de menthe poured over it.
Notes
Please note the difference between this and the other Absinthe Suissesse recipe. The creme de menthe really drives this drink.
