Souls of the Mountain

1⁄2 oz Amaro Meletti

2 ds Absinthe (I used 12 drops)
Instructions

History

After writing up the Anyone's Shadow for the blog, I decided to riff on the recipe by extracting the Meletti-Benedictine element and replacing the rye-Jamaican rum for the Cognac-mezcal duo from the 1910 Cocktail. I dubbed this one the Souls of the Mountain after a 1938 painting by surrealist Remedios Varo to keep with the 1910's Mexican theme.
