About
This cocktail was created in 2006 by bartender Audrey Saunders at Pegu Club (New York City). This is a great example of taking a classic cocktail (Southside) and adding one ingredient (absinthe) to add an extra layer of complexity. The name is a nod to the late 1800s French architecture, where folks used to sip absinthe.Cheers y’all!
