California Style Absinthe.
A mixing-glass* half full fine ice, one jigger absinthe. Shake until very cold, strain into thin bar-glass, fill with siphon seltzer or carbonic.
* By a mixing-glass is meant a large soda-glass, holding twelve ounces; it is handier and gives better satisfaction than a goblet. A jigger is a measure used for measuring liquors when mixing drinks; it holds two ounces. A pony holds half a jigger.
