Easter was early this year and we are ushering in Spring with a fantastic refreshing cocktail! If you have not had a Spring Awakening cocktail – now is your chance. You can follow the recipe or add your own twist with your favorite fresh juice and garnish with flowers or herbs! Enjoy!


- 3/4 oz. Gin (We use Hendricks)
- 3/4 oz. Lillet Rouge
- 3/4 oz. Triple Sec
- 3/4 oz. fresh pink grapefruit juice
- Tools: shaker, strainer, fine strainer
- Glass: coupe
- Rinse a chilled coupe with absinthe. Rim glass with sugar. In a shaker, combine the remaining four ingredients, shake with ice and fine-strain into absinthe-rinsed coupe.
- You can also use strawberry puree or your favorite juice in lieu of the grapefruit juice. If you do not have Lillet on hand you can substitute champagne! And, don't worry if you don't have any absinthe, it is purely optional and you may be better off in the morning without it!
