#225 Cocktail: Phoebe Snow

    Well, for this cocktail, I will let master Gaz Regan do the explanations: " A curveball in the French-Italian family, since it calls for Dubonnet rather than sweet vermouth, but a great drink nevertheless. You'll be tempted to think that this one was named for the singer, probably best known for her 1974 hit "Poetry Man", but actually both the drink and the singer borrowed their names from a fiction character, first seen circa 1900, who always dressed in a white spotless dress and gloves to promote the Lackawanna railroad trains' use of anthracite."
     All I can say is that the cocktail has a beautiful color and be careful with the absinthe, cause the drink is already strong from the brandy and the dubonnet.

2 ounces brandy
1 ounces Dubonnet 
Absinthe to taste
