      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.

          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.
