Thank you again to Katie Green for showing off her at home bartending skills! Watch her make Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, our specialty cocktail for last night's Virtual Speakeasy, which you can hear playing in the background. Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder. https://youtu.be/r15HRg7Gxyg... In an interesting coincidence, I too was introduced to absinthe in New Orleans, only it was a Vampire Speakeasy. I was given the secret password and location after visiting a vampire retail / artisan store in the French Quarter.
