WhiskeySugarBitters | A Classic Gin Cocktail - Arsenic and Old Lace | Absinthe cocktail @WhiskeySugarBitters | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This cocktail has many names. The Attention Cocktail, The Atty Cocktail and finally Arsenic and Old Lace. This is a classic gin cocktail, same style as a Martini but with the addition of creme de violette and absinthe.
I make two versions to compare.

Standard recipe

3 dashes Absinthe
3/4 oz (22.5ml) Dry Vermouth
1/4 oz (7.5ml) Creme de Violette
2 oz (60ml) Gin
Stir, serve up and garnish with an orange twist.

Maison Premiere version
