The Shanghai Cocktail is an odd pairing of Pernod and dark rum. It doesn't sound like it would be a good idea, but, as I am finding out, absinthe can be the ingredient that sets a drink apart from its familiar cousins. It makes sense then that this is named after an Asian city and not some Pacific or Caribbean island. The French liquor influence is both bitter and distinctive.
- 2 oz. dark rum
- 1/2 oz. Pernod
- 1 oz. lemon juice
- 1/4 oz. grenadine
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
