History

Triple sec sweetens gin with orange, while aromatised wine adds vinous notes. Absinthe elevates this Martini-style drink. Shaking provides a suitable cloudiness, unlike stirring.

Ryan Fitzgerald created this drink in San Francisco, USA, during the Noughties. It is a variation on the Corpse Reviver No. 2. Absinthe is said to "give the drink an opalescence reminiscent of San Francisco's fog", which is the inspiration for the cocktail's name.
