The Reminder by Jacob A. Didier (1909, p.91) — Didier 1909
| 0.5 pony | Absinthe — absinthe | base |
| 3.5 dashes | Lemon juice (fresh) — lemon juice | base |
| 1 drink | Plymouth gin | base |
| Carbonated water — carbonated water | dilution | |
| 0.5 glass | ice — fine ice | other |
| 1 spoonful | sugar — sugar | sweetener |
- Shake the lemon juice, sugar, ice, absinthe, and Plymouth gin.
- Strain into a fizz glass, fill half the glass with carbonated water, stir, and serve.
Ice: Half a glass of fine ice
This is a useful morning-drink checkpoint because it sits between the absinthe bracer and the fizz family rather than cleanly inside either one.
