The Absinthe Frappé dates back to nineteenth century New Orleans, where it became one of the earliest ways absinthe was served in the United States. It played a role in introducing the spirit to a broader audience at a time when absinthe was still relatively unfamiliar.
Built with absinthe, sugar, and crushed ice, the drink relies on dilution to soften the intensity of the spirit. The texture is just as important as the flavour, creating something that is both refreshing and aromatic. It is a style of drink that feels very specific to its era.
Why Lush Life Loves It
I like this when I want something that sits completely outside the usual rotation. It is distinctive, and it makes you slow down a bit.
