Mysterious Mixology at Morton’s
Phoenix– Morton’s The Steakhouse in Phoenix is hosting ‘Absinthe, The Green Hour’, an event on Friday, March 13th at 6 pm that will give guests a chance to experience the mystique, allure, and ritual of tasting Pernod Absinthe, a high proof distilled spirit made from grande wormwood and a blend of aromatic herb extracts. Pernod gained notoriety in the 19th century when prominent patrons of Paris cafésamong them artists, poets, and writers- popularized the pleasures of absinthe. Controversy about the effects of absinthe led to it being banned in France, the United States, and other countries in the early 1900’s. In 2007, the U.S. followed other nations by easing restrictions on distilling and selling absinthe, which was often called the “Green Fairy” at the height of its popularity due in part to its characteristic green color.

Priced at $45 per person including tax and gratuity, the event in Morton’s private boardroom will feature three Pernod Absinthe cocktails and Pernod Absinthe served in the traditional ritual, which involves dripping ice water very slowly over a sugar cube that is placed on a slotted spoon over a glass of absinthe. The water passes through the spoon slots into the drink, resulting in a green and flavorful concoction. Morton’s guests will also enjoy Oysters Rockefeller made with Absinthe, Crabstuffed mushrooms, Sliced Tenderloin on Crostini, and Morton’s famed Miniature Prime Cheeseburgers. An expert will guide guests through this unique tasting event and each guest will receive a complementary gift. To reserve your place at this event, call (602) 955-9577. Morton’s The Steakhouse is located at The Shops at The Esplanade at 2501 E. Camelback Road. For more information on Pernod Absinthe, visit www.pernod.net.
