About this collection

Absinthe for Classic Cocktails

Explore Drinkero's selection of Absinthe chosen for classic cocktails and aromatic rinses. Bold, herbal and intensely aromatic, Absinthe brings anise, wormwood and botanical character to some of the most distinctive drinks in the cocktail world.

What Is Absinthe?

Absinthe is a high-strength herbal spirit traditionally flavoured with botanicals such as wormwood, anise and fennel. Its powerful aroma and concentrated flavour mean that only a small amount is often needed in cocktails.

Absinthe in Cocktails

Absinthe is frequently used as a rinse or in small measures to add herbal complexity without overpowering the rest of the drink.

  • Sazerac — Rye whiskey, cane sugar syrup and Peychaud's bitters served in an Absinthe-rinsed glass.
  • Corpse Reviver No. 2 — Gin, orange liqueur, aromatised wine and fresh lemon with a small Absinthe rinse.
  • Death in the Afternoon — Absinthe topped with sparkling wine for a simple, intensely aromatic serve.
  • Absinthe Frappé — Absinthe, sugar and chilled water served over crushed ice.

Our Absinthe Choice

Drinkero recommends Pernod Absinthe 68% Vol. for a Sazerac. Its strong anise and herbal character works particularly well as a glass rinse, adding aroma and complexity without dominating the rye whiskey and bitters.

Selected for Cocktail Making

Drinkero focuses on Absinthe that has a clear purpose in cocktails. We look for expressive bottles with enough botanical character to remain noticeable when used in small quantities alongside whiskey, gin, citrus and bitters.
