The Green-ish Deacon
This was one of The Cocktail Geek’s drinks of the week, it was the creation of Jim Meehan and is featured in his “PDT Cocktail Book” (which I haven’t read). It involves absinthe and I don’t have any of that so I didn’t to make it.
Then I got to thinking, what about Pernod, it’s been used in other things as an absinthe substitute, ok it’s not a perfect replacement but why not.
That’s why it’s green-ish..
1.5oz Plymouth gin
1oz grapefruit juice
0.75oz Plymouth sloe gin
Shake and pour into a chilled Pernod rinsed glass.


A nice little twist subbing the absinthe. Thanks for the link too.
Credit where it’s due, I wouldn’t have had the idea if you hadn’t have posted about the drink in the first place!
