Chrysanthemum (Modern)

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Blanc vermouth e.g. Dolin Blanc, Lillet Blanc
  • 15 ml Bénédictine
  • 2 drop Absinthe
  • Garnish Orange twist

Preparation

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a Nick & Nora glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with orange twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.

Origin Story

The modern Chrysanthemum cocktail is a reinterpretation of a classic drink that dates back to the early 20th century, showcasing the use of vermouth and herbal liqueurs. Its revival reflects the current trend of reimagining vintage cocktails.
