The Reflecting Pool Cocktail! [View all]

Ladies and gentlemen: I have invented a new cocktail. I call it the Reflecting Pool. It’s 1/3 green absinthe, 2/3 chartreuse or crème de menthe, with a dash of bitters. Garnish with smashed blueberries for that flaking-paint look. I think a splash of champagne would be nice (a nod to the aeration bubbles), but we didn’t have any at the test kitchen.
Please share — especially if you know anyo bartenders. And feel free to add your own spin. I’m hoping this will catch on. [Imbibe with care; it packs quite a punch!] Cheers!
