My pleasure! And thanks for permission. How may I cite you? I can attribute quotes to "forwardslash, of hubski," "a mysterious stranger," "a distinguished gentleman," or whatever else you prefer. Cheers!

"forwardslash, of hubski" is alright with me.

Thanks cW for the nod regarding the White Spider. One thing I would point out in regards to preparation is that you should do a dry mix first (without the ice) to ensure a good "froth" from the egg white. I actually think you taught me that cW. After you shake all the ingredients (30 shakes or so) add some ice and repeat. I usually double the ingredients and pour myself a tall one :)

Enjoy, it's one of my favorites.

P.S. Tonight I'm making Corpse Reviver #2's. -Another favorite.

oh, good call. also, i should learn how to do a proper shout-out, as my citation would have been a perfect usage for such. so many tech tools, so little time. i couldn't agree more, the ice-free shake is really key for achieving the proper frappe quality. happy shakin, friend.

Thanks, the shakin was indeed "happy". I made this fella: http://i.imgur.com/NY63e.jpg Which is essentially a corpse reviver except that I didn't have any absinthe left (forgot that I drank it all) and so in order to add some dimension, I used muddled blueberries. -It was good but really all the blueberries added was color.

I really loved the St. George's absinthe I was using. Any recommendations otherwise?
