The Green Fairy Returns
Absinthe, often referred to as “The Green Fairy,” rose to prominence in late 19th-century France and became a cultural icon among artists, writers, and intellectuals. Traditionally prepared using a perforated absinthe spoon, a sugar cube, and slow-dripped ice water poured over the emerald spirit, the preparation transforms the liquor into a cloudy, aromatic elixir, a presentation as captivating as the drink itself.
On National Absinthe Day, guests at Red Phone Booth can enjoy:
• Traditional Tableside Absinthe Drip Ritual
• Corpse Reviver No. 2
• Death in the Afternoon
• Sazerac
Each cocktail is prepared according to its original specifications, preserving the integrity and craftsmanship that define Red Phone Booth’s award-winning craft cocktail program.
