Prohibition is Finally Over:Lucid Absinthe Superieure is Here*:Two Recipes to Enjoy :)

*Introducing lucid, Absinthe Supérieure. lucid represents a breakthrough product for the U.S. market, as it is the first true, Grande Wormwood-based Absinthe of its type since before prohibition. Unlike imitators in the U.S. and many of the so-called "Absinthe" products that litter the international markets, lucid is crafted directly from select whole herbs, including Grande Wormwood, and never from cheaper assemblages, macerations, extracts or oils.

*Recipe one*

the mint muse

• 1 1/2 oz. LUCID™

• 2 oz. Pineapple juice

• Muddled mint leaves and lime wedge

• Topped with Sprite or 7-Up

• Garnish = mint sprig

 

Muddle 6-8 mint leaves with the lime wedge along with the LUCID™. Add ice, the 2 oz. of pineapple juice and shake briefly. Top with Sprite or 7-up and add the mint sprig.

This name is a play on "The Green Muse"

 

*recipe Two*

Earnest Hemingway's Death In The Afternoon Cocktail

Adapted from Esquire Drink Book of 1956 edited by Frederic Birmingham

 

Pour 1 oz of LUCID™ into a champange coupe or flute

"Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness."
