Enchanted Forest
(Absinthe Frappe)
In a shaker:
1 oz. Trail of the Cedars Absinthe
1 oz. water
1 oz. mint simple
2 oz. half & half
Small scoop of ice
Shake until ice is almost completely dissolved
Dump into rocks glass filled with ice
Garnish with spanked mint
To make mint simple: In a pot, dissolve 2 ½ cups sugar with 2 ½ cups water. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Add 4 oz. fresh mint. Let steep for 30 minutes. Strain and cool for serving. (For this cocktail, we like to add a little green food coloring to the simple, after straining.)
