Cocktail Hour: In-Seine

by Jonathan M. Forester, Posted Aug 29th 2008 @ 4:00PM

After a week spent wandering the halls of Tales of the Cocktail in July 2008, sipping many finely stirred and shaken libations; I said to myself, "These special cocktails need to be shared with the world." So I bring you Cocktail Hour, a finer way to celebrate the end of the day; with these recipes. They have either been created specifically for Tales of the Cocktail, or re-designed for a new approach on the traditional version by some of the top Mixologists in the world. Many are being presented to the public here for the first time. Enjoy!

In-Seine cocktail recipe after the jump

In-Seine created by Simon Difford
2 oz Hennessy VSOP
1 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
1/8 oz La Fee Absinthe

Shake all ingredients on ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Origin: The name references the fact that St. Germain is a district of Paris on the left bank of the Seine and absinthe was banned in Paris, partly because because it was believed to induce insanity.
