Place a couple ice cubes in the glass first. Then,

15 g absinthe, stir till opaque
20 g cocchi Americano
10 g grand Marnier
5 g hazelnut syrup
double shot of espresso (mine is dialed in at 36 grams)

Admittedly, it's a bit light on the absinthe.

I also recommend using a German/Austrian absinthe if possible.

I call it "the early bird gets the wormword" but I'm not too inlove with the name.

Grams..?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's all in grams.

It's just a very small increment so it's more useful than ounces for me (maybe this goes back into the whole study abroad thing, although I never did that).

And even though it's all liquid, I find it a lot easier to measure by weight than using a measuring cup or jigger.

Especially if making fresh espresso, I'm going to dial in my shot by weight anyway so I don't make bitter espresso. So I'll have a cheap scale that is accurate within 0.01 grams at the ready.

Fair enough, thank you for explaining!
