- ½ oz. Cointreau
- ½ oz. Suze

Directions
- Rinse the inside of a chilled champagne flute with absinthe.
- Add some ice cubes to the flute and set aside.

- Stir well until chilled.
- Remove the ice and excess absinthe from the Champagne flute, then strain the drink into it.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.

Sorry, but I can’t bring myself to throw away the absinthe after ‘rinsing’ the glass with it Just use less and leave it in.
