Green with Envy
This daiquiri-like cocktail somehow warms as it refreshes, making it the perfect transition to fall. Don’t shy away from the absinthe—it defines the drink.
- 2 ounces rum
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ½ ounce sugar syrup
- 8 mint leaves
- 3 cucumber wedges
- chilled soda water
- 4 spritzes of absinthe for glass
GLASS: Coupe spritzed with absinthe
GARNISH: Cucumber
Crush the cucumber and mint in the bottom of the shaker with the rum, lime, and sugar syrup. Shake hard with ice and double strain (using a fine strainer) into a coupe spritzed with absinthe. Top with a splash of soda. Garnish and serve.
