Why would Absinthe be perfect for a Puff the Magic Dragon cocktail?
Here’s one writer’s idea of the perfect cocktail mix for a Puff the Magic Dragon Cocktail. It’s green, of course. “Now that Mary Travers of the trio has passed away it made me think of their song, “Puff the Magic Dragon” and all of the connotations that song has. But what if the dragon was a drink? Absinthe, the once banned substance makes a perfect fit for the Puff Drink because it’s mystical, green nature of the drink.” Recipe 1 shot of absinthe ( The Bay Area’s own St. George’s Spirits makes a good one) 1 shot of water 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar 1 dash orange bitters Add ingredients over ice and mix and the pour one out for Mary Travers and of course, Puff.” Sources: http://www.examiner.
