By the way, I have a lot more recipes to add in but need to research them to make sure they taste good before I put them on my web site.

Absinthe Cocktail #1 - This recipe is the classic method of serving Absinthe.

• Ice cold water

When you have added the desired amount of water, drop the remaining sugar into the glass and stir with the absinthe spoon.
