The Dale/David Project carries on tonight with the Absinthe No. 2. Dale adopted this drink from The Artistry of Mixing Drinks by Frank Meier, 1936. Usually with the old drinks that call for absinthe substitute I use actual absinthe. But this recipe was from a book that was written after the ban, so I figure it called for absinthe substitute in the original, and thus used Absente per DDG's instructions.

Consisting of gin, absinthe substitute and orange bitters, this is a nice little cocktail for a cool winter evening
