Cynar Flip

A simple drink, but a perfect drink. Definitely more of an after-dinner experience, but any time it is offered it would be hard to pass up.

2 oz Cynar
1 Whole egg

Combine in a glass and shake for 5-10 seconds. Add ice and shake for 20-30 seconds and then strain into a cocktail glass.

Enjoy.

Corpse Reviver #2

More successful than #1, this drink is a classic that is very refreshing. It is important to be truly judicious with the absinthe substitute, as this addition is more about giving the drinker a hint of anise than balancing the other flavors with this strong ingredient.

3/4 oz Gin
3/4 oz Triple Sec
3/4 oz Lillet
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
2-4 drops of Absinthe (Pernod or Herbsaint also work)

Combine in an ice-filled glass and shake for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Enjoy.
