Or supposedly those who may just feel like they are dead. The idea behind this class of drinks was as a cure for the hangover. I don't know that drinking something like this would necessarily make you feel any better. But I do think this drink has a nice balance of flavors that are best enjoyed when you are feeling in top shape.
1 oz. Gin
1 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. Lillet Blanc
1 oz. lemon juice
splash (1/4 tsp) Absinthe
maraschino cherry garnish
Chill a martini glass. Meanwhile, in a shaker with ice, add the gin, cointreau, lillet, and juice. Shake well. Coat the inside of the martini glass with the absinthe and strain the other ingredients into the glass. Garnish with cherry.
Don't mess with the measurements too much. A bit too much of any one part and the drink falls out of balance.
