The King’s Pleasant Dream
This week’s drink is a shooter.
You can't see it, but the Koruna absinthe has a really thick layer of wormwood at the bottom of it
Lately I’ve been feeling less inclined to drink for flavour, and more to simply get smashed. However, one must keep up appearances, like waiting until the alarm for 4:00pm to begin drinking in haste.
This is one such drink. The Chambord and Pimm’s lend it an air of respectability, and pretend to be low in alcohol (Chambord is a piddling 15%), whilst teh Absinthe has a “mystique” of gawthness to it that will also get you wasted in no time as the one I used sits at a well (not very) rounded 82.5%.
The name of the drink itself is meant to be a mnemonic device.
The king is Chambord, Pimms is pleasant, and Absinthe certainly sets you dreaming… Like a certain Queenie Chan graphic novel, ut with slightly less axe murdering… unless you have one too many of these.
Glass: Shot
Ingredients:
- 10ml Chambord
- 10ml Pimms
- 10ml Absinthe
Method: Build
A Kings Pleasant Nightmare?
Garnish: You can set it on fire, then it becomes The King’s Pleasant Nightmare… Add in a few little cocktail swords, and I suppose it becomes the King’s Pleasant Nightmare on Elm Street.
