The Charlie Sheen
2 oz gin (I used Bluecoat for its less pronounced juniper)
3/4 oz mandarin juice
3/4 oz lime juice
2 barspoons cinnamon syrup (Trader Tiki for the easy kill)
2 barspoons pineapple gomme syrup (don’t bother trying to make your own, and go for the even easier kill by using Small Hand Foods‘ excellent product)
2 barspoons agave nectar
1/2 barspoon absinthe (I used Vieux Carre)
5 dashes A.B. Smeby Spiced Grapefruit Bitters
Seltzer to top
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: collins, highball, or other tall glass
Fill your glass with ice. Place everything but the seltzer in a shaker and shake until well chilled. Strain into glass, top with seltzer, and give a light stir. Serve with a straw. This drinks goes great with a line of coke, and you can put the straw to double duty. It’s also the perfect highball to pair with your speedball.
