Seeing Green

Happy New Year! We hope you ended 2007 with plenty of delicious libations; we certainly did, including enjoying some newly legal absinthe, which seems to be on everyone’s minds these days. We’ve had so many requests for information on absinthe, so we’re very excited about our Jan/Feb cover story by our friend Paul Clarke. If you haven’t gotten the latest issue yet, what are you waiting for? Paul did a great job of demystifying this classic spirit and revealing its more modern incarations.

One of the best things about having access to absinthe is finally being able to make many of the classic cocktails that call for it. The Jan/Feb issue has some great recipes, but you can also head over to the new online bonus recipe section of our website, where you’ll find instructions for the lovely Morning Glory cocktail. Give it a try, and keep sending us your letters and questions about your own absinthe discoveries—we love hearing about your experiences!
