Green Apple Fairies....Absinthe Anyone?

Documentary: http://absinthefilm.com

Ingredients:

2/3 oz absinthe herbal liqueur
2/3 oz apple vodka (I used Van Gogh Green Apple Vodka)
3 oz sparkling apple cider

Directions:

For this recipe, make some apple juice ice cubes before you start. Then add 3 apple juice cubes to a cocktail glass. Add absinthe and apple vodka, and fill with cider.

Tasting Notes:

This one was.....well, EW! If you like black licorice, you would love Absinthe. I do not. Even though, I  HAD to try Absinthe --- I've heard so much about it. It's a different kind of sensation, not your typical alcohol buzz. 

So, for the second round, I nixed the Absinthe, upped the Van Gogh Green Apple vodka, apple juice ice cubes and sparkling apple cider and it was devine! Very round, smooth sweet red apple flavor and very relaxing.
