Green Deacon

from PDT

• St. George Absinthe
• 1.5 oz. Plymouth Gin
• 1 oz. Grapefruit Juice
• .75 oz. Plymouth Sloe Gin

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled, St. George Absinthe-rinsed coupe. No garnish.

This drink is based on the Rosy Deacon recipe in Jones's Complete Bar Guide. One night, I served it to my friend J. C. Iglesias, who suggested adding Absinthe. —Jim Meehan, Fall 2008
