Tremblement de Terre | Cocktail Party

Tremblement de Terre

Henri de Toulouse Latrec, the famous and short-lived French artist who died at the turn of the last century, was said to enjoy this cocktail. Its name means “Earthquake,” perhaps in reference to its jarring effect on the human body.

The original recipe called for equal parts cognac and absinthe, but we like the updated proportions served by Chantal Tseng at The Reading Room in Washington DC: two parts cognac and one part absinthe, topped with a lemon twist.

Ingredients

Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled wine goblet (that’s how Latrec had it – but you can use any glass you like). Garnish with a lemon twist.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
