This slightly terrifying sounding cocktail is a hangover cure from pre-Prohibition times. Despite the punchy ingredients list, the balanced flavours make it dangerously drinkable. While it’s probably not a good idea to mix one up to cure a hangover, it’s a pleasing aperitif before dinner.
The absinthe is traditional but we found you can barely taste it, so don’t worry about adding it unless you have some lying around. Fun fact: the Nick & Nora glass (pictured) is named after the crime-solving couple in Dashiell Hammett’s novel The Thin Man.

Ingredients
- Dash absinthe (optional)
- 20ml gin
- 20ml Lillet Blanc
- 20ml cointreau or orange liqueur
- 20ml lemon juice
- Lemon peel to garnish (optional)
Method
- Pour the absinthe (if using) into a coupe or Nick & Nora glass, swirl it around, then pour out. Add the rest of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into the glass. Garnish with a strip of lemon peel, if you like.
