Twenty-First Century Cocktail

The 20th Century cocktail has been around for… well… about a century. Isn’t it time we had something a little more up-to-date? Jim Meehan, of PDT in New York City, felt the same way, and so he came up with this delightful variation that is well worth trying. I appreciate it because it uses tequila, and I personally think the world needs a few more good tequila cocktail recipes.

Twenty-First Century Cocktail: 1 1/2 ounces silver tequila; 3/4 ounce white crème de cacao; 3/4 ounce lemon juice; 1/4 ounce absinthe; Coat the glass with the absinthe, then shake everything else with ice and strain into the prepared cocktail glass.; Source: Jim Meehan, for PDT in New York City
