Absinthe

Measured by weight; density ≈0.95 g/ml if converted.

Absinthe’s strong anise-alcohol profile has no true substitute; aniseed-steeped vodka is closest.

• 
  Vodka

  For 10 g absinthe, steep 0.5 g ground aniseed in 10 g vodka for 10 minutes and strain; less complex.

• 
  Gin

  Use the same weight; botanical and less aniseed-forward.

• 
  Aniseed

  Steep 0.5 g ground aniseed per 10 g of the liquid already in the recipe, then strain; gives anise flavour without alcohol.
