Last night, M and C and I went to Leon's where I had a drink (ok, 3 drinks) called "Activity Goggles!". I'm not generally one for any drink with an exclamation point in the name or really that, outside of ice or soda, has more than three ingredients (gin, vermouth, olive; rye, bitters, Pernod/absinthe; scotch/bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters; vodka, lemon, simple syrup; gin, cucumber). It's just a waste of my time. Even if I like it, I'm not going to make it at home. I did however, enjoy the drink.
A guess at the proportions and preparation would be,
1 1/2 - 2 oz gin
1/2 - 1 oz Lillet blanc
1 - 2 dashes Luxardo maraschino
1 - 2 dashes Orange bitters
Dash of absinthe (Pernod would probably work.)
2-inch strip of orange zest, as garnish
Swirl absinthe in a martini glass to coat and then discard. Stir remaining ingredients with ice, and strain into glass and garnish.
I won't be making it, but you should.
