An 1855 recipe, faithfully revived

Green Monkey Absinthe is distilled exclusively from the highest-quality wormwood, following a recipe dated to 1855, decades before the moral panic and bans that gave absinthe its unfair reputation. We made no attempt to modernise it. The result is old-fashioned and genuinely intense: 68% Vol, distilled on our historic copper still and finished with pure limestone spring water from our own well.

It rewards a proper serve. Our house cocktail, the Necromancer, was built specifically around it: 21ml Green Monkey Absinthe, 21ml elderflower liqueur, 21ml Lillet Blanc, a dash of our London Dry Gin and 21ml fresh lemon juice, shaken hard with ice and strained into a coupe with a lemon twist. It's the drink we hand people who think they don't like absinthe.

The debut release picked up Silver at the Global Speciality Masters 2025 and 85 points from the London Spirits Competition. See it alongside the rest of the range on our awards page.
