Mint MuseCocktail recipe
Rating
The Mint Muse is a vibrant and invigorating cocktail that combines the potent aniseed flavor of absinthe with the tropical sweetness of pineapple juice, creating a complex and refreshing taste profile. The addition of fresh muddled mint leaves enhances the cocktail with a cooling herbal undertone, while the effervescence of lemon-lime soda adds a zesty lift, perfect for cutting through the rich flavors.
Served in a highball glass, the Mint Muse caters to those who enjoy a bold, herbaceous drink with a sweet and tangy twist.
