Modernista (cocktail) (original) (raw)

The Modernista is a scotch whiskey cocktail livened up by the addition of absinthe/pastis and arrack-based Swedish Punsch. It was listed in Ted Haigh's book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, and is also known as the Modern Maid cocktail. A bitter cocktail balanced by punsch, it has been called "a sophisticated, if challenging, beverage".
