Instructions
- Chill your coupe glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes prior to making the cocktail.
- Pour a dash of absinthe into the chilled glass, swirl it around to coat the glass, and then discard the excess.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Cointreau, and gin.
- Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This not only mixes the ingredients but also chills them and adds a slight dilution which is essential for a balanced cocktail.
- Strain the cocktail into your absinthe-coated coupe glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist to add an extra burst of citrus aroma with each sip.
