The Doll's new favourite...at least until the next cocktail hour

The countdown is well and truly on now with only six full days to go until it is Tuesday 13th March at 7:00pm and the Doll's doors open to reveal all sorts of wonders. We can hardly contain our excitement and we're not at all calmed by the trying of all sorts of absinthe cocktails--for research purposes of course--as we finalise our bar menu.


She looks like she's having fun, doesn't she?

I can only assume that this lovely concoction is what's in her glass:


Absinthe Suissesse


30mls Absinthe
15mls orgeat
1 fresh egg white
30 mls double cream


First, shake all ingredients without ice. Add ice and shake for a fair amount of time, until thoroughly chilled (both your hand and the drink). Strain into a chilled glass.


All right, so this frothy treat is a bit on the indulgent side, but what we love most about this cocktail is that it is a perfectly acceptable and civilised brunch drink (in New Orleans if nowhere else).


We'll be posting a drink for everyday until the Doll opens. And as we've only given you a taste of the stock we have in store we'll also be posting more fabulous previews over the weekend.
