Is not it a promising name for a cocktail, containing absinthe? Indeed, it is. Though the ‘Bloody Brain’ thing stands solely for the outstanding look the drink has. Many believe it to be an awesome way to serve absinthe shots and I personally share this opinion.

To tell the truth, the preparation of the cocktail requires a great deal of patience and neatness, since it is not one of those mix-everything-together things so fast and easy, giving job to your cocktail shaker only. Nevertheless, take your time to do everything right and you will not regret the award in the form of a perfect look and taste of your absinthe shot.

Now go search your home bar, for we need the following ingredients in order to make the ‘Bloody Brain’:

• absinthe (1 ounce),
• amaretto (half ounce),
• Bailey’s or other Irish cream liquor (half ounce),
• grenadine (couple drops).
