The Maiden and the Huntsman
This is not your mother's Champagne cocktail. Lynn House's version aggressively blends pisco, absinthe and house-made pear nectar for an offbeat aperitif that's certain to get the party started.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Campo de Encanto Pisco
- 1/8 oz. Pernod Absinthe
- 1 oz. sparkling wine
- ½ oz. lime juice
- ½ oz. simple syrup
- 1 ½ oz. pear/caraway nectar
- 3 drops Angostura bitters
Directions
Combine all ingredients, except sparkling wine, and ice in shaker until well chilled. Add bubbly, stir and strain into a coupe glass. The cocktail is on the winter 2012 menu at Blackbird where Lynn House is the head mixologist.
