"Created at the Old Absinthe House in the 1860s, this simple absinthe cocktail is as refreshing and flavorful as it ever was (the bar was previously known as the Absinthe Room, eventually becoming the Old Absinthe House). While The Old Absinthe House is the original location for the frappe, there are some better versions out there, but not necessarily on the menu, at places like Cure and Jewel of the South." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell
