Anthrax IslandCocktail recipe
Rating
The Anthrax Island cocktail is a potent mixture that combines the strong anise-flavored Absinthe with the smooth, oak-infused notes of whiskey, topped off with the crisp, malty profile of lager. This cocktail is typically presented in a shot glass that is then dropped into a larger glass containing the lager, resulting in a dynamic and bold blend.
Its unique name hints at an intense experience, making it a choice for those who appreciate a beverage with a notable kick and depth of flavor. The concoction is layered, with the sharp herbal tones of the absinthe at the forefront, mellowed by the whiskey, and balanced by the bubbly texture and lightness of the lager.
