I like how you added the mineral water to the shaker before pouring/straining the drink. Really clever way to integrate the bubbly rather than just having it sit on top of the drink.

I can’t remember where I read about the old absinthe house originally (I’ve been there since and partaken in some great absinthe) but somewhere I read that the old absinthe house is where the cocktail was officially born. Essentially the guy who founded it was French. He moved from France to NY in the late 1700s. He opened a general store there but his brother lived in New Orleans (Pre Louisiana purchase) so he eventually moved down to NOLA and opened a general store there, probably in the building now known as the old absinthe house. One of the things he sold was absinthe (a pretty normal spirit for a Frenchman to sell in a French town) but he started adding lime to the normally water and sugar cut concoction and sold that. It was a hit in the balmy bayou, and was popular enough to start being copied regionally and then nationally in varying forms. The cups he used to measure the fractions of ingredients had a French name that no one could remember. A word similar to croquet. So people in different areas started anglicizing the sound of the word for the measuring cups and saying cocktail instead of the hard to remember and say French word. And boom. Cocktails. Apparently his measuring cups became the origin of the modern bar jigger.

A short explanation of why the absinthe turns white in aniseed drinks there is oil that comes from the spices and in the balance of the absinthe the water and oil molecules remain separate but when more water is added the fat molecules begin to connect in large groups and return the light

My first introduction to absinthe was Hemingway’s “Death In The Afternoon”. I love that anise flavor. And the Old Absinthe House is awesome too. As is New Orleans. If you’ve never been, stop what you’re doing and plan a trip. The booze, the food, the music…there’s no other city like it.

Just in case you wanted the chemistry behind the Louche. All alcohol is a solution made of a lot of stuff suspended in the ethyl alcohol. The specific clouding thing here are lipids (oils or fats) that are in suspension in higher ABVs. Louching occurs when you proof down, and you'll also observe this phenomenon in some whisky and gins. It's the peaty and woody oils in whisky and the same floral oils as absinthe in gin

I love Absinthe so I'm definitely going to try this recipe 😋. Im allergic to red dye 40, so I'm constantly having to tweak many recipes. So, i appreciate when you show us your own variation of a recipe. Also, heads up to anyone that might have the same allergy as me. When i was mixing some drinks the other night i was experimenting with blackberries to see if i could get a red color from them. You definitely can! Muddle them in your shaker and add whatever other ingredients you want. Also add some simple syrup to counter the bitterness. Shake and double strain. Presto, you have a red cocktail 🍸!
