Viva La French! (3 of 7)

After the breathtaking 2006 World Cup, you'll need some strong Absinthe to cheer on Thierry Henry and team. Distilled in The Combier Distillery in France, the Lucid Frappe is made with Lucid Absinthe, simple syrup and mint. Enjoy it with a splash of soda and hopefully the Bleus will bring the FIFA World Cup back to Paris. LUCID FRAPPE 1 oz.
