Absinthe Liqueur (Original) - Cocktail Recipe

Wondering how to make Absinthe Liqueur (Original)? Cocktail Builder will help!

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch of Anise
  • 750 ml of Bacardi 151 rum (alt: overproof rum)
  • 1 tbsp of angelica root
  • 1/2 tsp of coriander
  • 1 tsp of hyssop
  • 1/4 tsp of caraway
  • 1 pinch of cardamom
  • 2 oz of dried chopped wormwood (alt: wormwood extract)

Instructions

Crush all ingredients in mortar and peste (or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin if you dont have one) except the Wormwood, Angelica root and Hyssop. Put all ingredients into the bacardi 151 (you will need to put it all into a larger bottle so it fits) and let it sit (still in a cool dark place) for 4-7 days. Strain out into a bottle and enjoy.

Letting it sit for 4 days will do the trick, 7 days will make it slightly more potent but it will be much more bitter. Using a weaker alcohol will work but it will turn brown instead of the usual green colour.
