You may wonder: Can you mix absinthe and coke? It’s an age-old question, but one that’s not as polarizing as you might think. There are numerous recipes for an absinthe cocktail, including Cayetano Ferrer’s Absinthe Suisse and the French 75. Below, I’ve listed the instructions for a simple and delicious absinthe drink.

Cayetano Ferrer’s absinthe drink

In 1861, the Aleix brothers converted a grocery store into a coffeehouse in Barcelona, Spain. There, they hired Cayetano Ferrer, the city’s first professional bartender, to serve drinks. Ferrer worked as a chief bartender in the “Old Absinthe Room” for several years. In 1874, he renamed it the Absinthe Room and began serving his drink in a traditional French style. In the 1890s, his drink was dripped from fountains and served with a spoon.

Originally a wine, absinthe became popular in France in the late 19th century. People were drinking it during the late afternoon, which was known as “the green hour.” The drink’s color changes from clear to cloudy as it changes with water. In 1864, Cayetano Ferrer took over a bar in New Orleans and made the absinthe drink famous. He became known for his Absinthe Frappe.

Absinthe Suisse

In the 1920s, the French invented a cocktail called the French 75. Named after the French 75mm artillery cannon, it was created at Harry’s American Bar in Paris. Today, it is still considered one of the most elegant cocktails made with absinthe. This cocktail is citrusy, slightly sweet, and perfect for any hour of the night. To make this drink, combine absinthe, soda water, mint, and a little caraway-tinged aquavit. Serve it in a coupe glass.

For a proper absinthe drink, start by filling a glass half-full with crushed ice. Next, place a sugar cube on top of the ice cubes. Next, pour some club soda over the sugar cube. After the sugar cube has dissolved, add ice and stir the drink with an absinthe spoon. You can also light the sugar cube to make the drink more flavorful. If you want to make your drink look more authentic, use sugar cubes as garnishes. If you wish to serve it with a sugar cube, make sure to garnish it with a little extra sugar.

French 75

There are two versions of the French 75 absinthe and coke cocktail. The gin version is very refreshing, light, and dry, while the brandy version is sweeter and contains a subtle caramel toffee flavor. There are many variations of this drink, depending on who gives you the recipe. Whether you want a sweeter or drier drink, this drink allows for a lot of individual interpretation.

The French 75 cocktail originated in the 1920s. The original recipe called for gin, absinthe, and calvados. It became popular in 1927 after Judge Jr. published his book on mixology. However, some recipes replace gin with cognac. The French 75 cocktail was featured in two John Wayne movies, Casablanca and Mr. Selfridge, and it has since gained popularity among drinkers all over the world.

Trying to figure out how to make an absinthe cocktail? Well, the answer to that question is pretty simple. It all starts with a cocktail glass and some ice cubes. Next, you’ll want to add a lime slice, sugar edge, and some extra ingredients. Usually, a single orange slice is added, as well as a lime slice. To make a cocktail that includes absinthe, you’ll need to add a slice of lime and some orange. Finally, you’ll want to add a dash of coke, and your cocktail is done.

A classic absinthe cocktail is made by adding ice to a cocktail glass half-filled with crushed ice. To prepare the drink, you’ll want to add a sugar cube.
