How To make a Chrysanthemum

In a cocktail shaker, stir together absinthe, brandy and vermouth. Add ice and stir for one minute, then strain into a martini glass. Squeeze orange peel over drink, making sure oils fall into the glass , then drop peel into drink and serve.

Social and Cocktail says:

A distinct and quite complex tasting combination in which the vermouth serves nicely to diffuse the flavours of the absinthe and the brandy. One for more experienced cocktail drinkers.

70% of absinthe is little more than licorice flavoured vodka.
