Suspiciously Absinthe

By LRay

Absinthe began as a mysterious cure-all potion with an ellusive hallucinatory property. While both the wormwood and hallucinagenic are blessedly absent these days, absinthe still remains a popular spirit of choice. Mixed with grapefruit and hibiscus water, this cocktail developed by Christopher Starnes of The Three Muses in New Orleans has a gorgeous floral essence, perfect for spring.
