This classic cocktail artfully marries the captivating essences of Lyre’s Dry London Spirit and Absinthe, weaving them together with fragrant mint and zesty citrus, creating a concoction best served icy cold. Its origins trace back to the clandestine days of Prohibition, hailing from the southside of Chicago. It’s a drink that whispers tales of mobsters who, while attending to their formidable affairs, indulged in its refreshing and vibrant flavors. In the midst of a world brimming with secrecy and intrigue, this vintage libation provided a clandestine oasis of taste and sophistication, allowing even those navigating the shadows to momentarily escape into a realm of fresh, invigorating indulgence.
