  • Nice floral finish, but tends to be a bit sweet, so up the lemon a bit as needed. — ★★★★★

  • makes a good nightcap lots of chocolate flavor to sip on
  • Yum. Scrappy's Chocolate Bitters and Bulleit Rye yield dark chocolate flavor that's not too sweet.
  • This is DEFINITELY a dessert cocktail. The combination of the Cynar and Bitters make this a mouthful of dark chocolate

  • Both the Scotch and the Pear are rather understated. Of course, boozy lemonade is always great!
  • Delicious, great mix of flavors, not overly sweet at all, will make again, maybe with a bit of cinnamon syrup instead.

Stormin' Normandy

1 1⁄2 oz Calvados
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup (2:1)
1 ds Absinthe
2 oz Champagne
Instructions

Add between a dash and a teaspoon, to taste, of absinthe to Calvados, lemon, and sweetener, shake with ice, and strain into a highball over ice and Champagne (or, more festively, into a Champagne flute over bubbles).

Notes

Other sweeteners work well: grenadine, of course, Pommeau de Normandie, and so on. You could also add a dash of Angostura, which always works well with absinthe, or douse a sugar cube in bitters, as in the Champagne Cocktail and Jimmie Roosevelt.

History

I thought about how the French 75 memorialized the artillery of choice during the first World War, and how absinthe, then banned, was used in the production of gunpowder during that war. (See source reference.) From there it was a trip to Normandy, thirty years later, via Pan American Clipper.

Quite good. I used Black Dirt apple brandy, maple syrup, Scarpetta sparkling wine, and a tiny bit of Tintura Imperiale (90% abv monastic saffron liqueur from Italy) instead of the absinthe.

Bevx commented on 9/16/2013:

Had a feeling you might post this before I got around to it. ;) A quick note: as served to me at 320 Main a few days ago, rather than "a" celery seed, it was a fat pinch, striped across the cuke slice.

Sorry about that. ;) I've updated the entry to give the garnish you got as an option.

Kyle, I can't wait to try it, since you two love it so much.

Somehow along the way "cucumber" became "celery," I think.
Terrific drink at the top of my "savory" list. Thanks for posting it.
