cocktails

Pernod Drip
The Classic Preparation
1 1/2 0z. Pernod

First pour the Pernod into the glass then place the strainer, with sugar
cube inside over the glass.
Pack a mound of your ice atop the sugar. When the ice has melted, the drip
is ready. For those
with no patience, cold water can be slowly poured over the strainer until
the sugar is gone and the
glass is full (this however makes for a weaker drink).
