Green and frothy in appearance, Absinthe Minded is a whimsical warm-weather drink. It uses the basic sour platform with gin as the base spirit, sugar (simple syrup) for body and texture, and acid (lime juice) for backbone and lift. With the addition of absinthe and mint, the drink takes on a refreshing mentholated quality.
