Absinthe SuissesseSteven Torres

Camper English, a San Francisco–based writer, adapted this classic drink recipe to showcase the use of absinthe. Here, absinthe is paired with orgeat, an almond-flavored syrup. The egg white and cream give the drink a frothy, milkshake-like texture. (If salmonella is a problem in your area, omit the egg white or substitute pasteurized liquid egg whites.) In New Orleans, many people consider this a breakfast drink.

Bartender's note:

To make a frozen Absinthe Suissesse, combine absinthe, orgeat syrup, egg white, orange flower water, and heavy cream or half-and-half in blender. Add 6 ice cubes and blend for about 10 seconds.
