Absinthe Father

This drink made its debut at the popular drinking club 3st of the Month and was such a popular cocktail, we've had countless requests for the recipe.

Created by Ed Kolb (an incredible mixologist and one of our distillers) and Andy Nelson, the Absinthe Father doesn't just have perhaps the coolest name around, but its complexity is rivaled only by downright deliciousness!

You'll need to put a little prep into making the ginger syrup ahead of time. To do this, you'll juice 1 pound of fresh ginger and mix that ginger juice with 1.5 cups granulated sugar until dissolved. Another key ingredient (besides the Belle Meade Bourbon, of course) is the Steen's Cane Syrup.
