arsenic and old lace

1 1/2oz gin
1/2oz pastis (I used Jade Nouvelle-Orleans Absinthe and a dash of sugar)
1/2oz creme de violette
1/4oz dry vermouth

Stir with ice and strain. Recipe: CocktailDB

Frederic reminded me of this one earlier this week -- the name caught my eye a while back, before I'd secured my creme de violette.

It's an awfully pretty, pearly-purple drink, yet tastes pretty absinthy. Not that this is a bad thing, mind. It's suiting my mood just fine, thank you very much!
