This absinthe frappé is made with non-alcoholic absinthe, fresh mint, simple syrup, and a splash of club soda. All of which is poured over a glass of crushed ice. It's light, refreshing, and wonderfully bubbly!
Place the absinthe, simple syrup, and mint into a shaker. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.
Top with club soda and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
How to Make Crushed Ice: Place a few cups of ice into a blender then cover halfway with water. Pulse until you get small chunks of ice (about ¼ inch). Strain out the water using a large fine mesh sieve.
You can also use a mini ice cube tray to get small pieces of ice.
This drink is typically served in an absinthe glass, but a sherry or hurricane glass is fine.
Don't add ice to the shaker. We're doing what's called a dry shake which is when you shake up all the ingredients without any ice. Since non-alcoholic absinthe is not as potent, we don't want to want to dilute it too much. Especially since we're topping it off with club soda.
