Pro Tips

🐍 The Name

Named for its supposed ability to "cure or kill" – like a rattlesnake bite. The absinthe adds just a hint of anise complexity.

🥚 Egg White Technique

The dry shake (without ice) is essential for creating that beautiful, thick foam. Don't skip this step!

💧 Absinthe Measure

Just a small amount of absinthe goes a long way. Use a dropper or bar spoon for accuracy – too much will overwhelm the drink.
