History

Like a Last Word, with egg white smoothing absinthe's strong flavour.

Adapted from a recipe created around 2007 by Toby Maloney at The Violet Hour in Chicago, USA. The frothy top, green color from the absinthe, and flaming Chartreuse are intended to evoke Neptune's wrath during a tumultuous sea.
