SCREAMING GREENIE
Redemption has arrived for the frozen drink, which in the late 20th century all but ruined the reputation of the daiquiri and margarita as serious cocktails. Absinthe provides a note of anise to this refreshing, verdant beverage. Just don't drink it too quickly - brain freeze is a real thing.

- Make a simple syrup: Over medium burner, add the sugar to 1 cup of water and heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool. (Unused syrup can be refrigerated for 2 weeks.)
