Remember the Maine (Dry version)

In memory of Clover Club and anticipation of Cherry Heering for the sweet version
  • 2 oz rye
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth (M&R)
  • 1½ bar-spoons kirsch
  • ¾ bar-spoon absinthe

Stir with ice. Lemon zest twist.

At first I thought there was too much kirsch in this recipe. But the flavour profile of this drink changes significantly over time - after 15 minutes the lemon zest and absinthe had combined with the kirsch into a wonderful concoction... So make sure your glass is super cold, use a fresh lemon and don't drink it all at once!
