In honour of today's event, I would like the following please:
The Earthquake Cocktail.
1 jigger gin (I use Bombay Sapphire.)
1 jigger whiskey (I use Old Overholt Rye; try any rye, Canadian or Bourbon.)
1 jigger absinthe (Use the real stuff from Europe if you can get it; otherwise use Herbsaint, Pernod or Ricard).
Shake well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass. You might also want to try standing in a doorway when you drink it (so that you can steady yourself easily).
