As absinthe cocktails go, La Canne Creuse is stunning but the story behind the name is just as interesting. Jeff Hollinger of Absinthe Brasserie and Bar in San Francisco created the cocktail as part of Pernod Absinthe's "muse series" and his muse was Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. A provocative painter and printmaker for his time, Toulouse-Lautrec was known to carry a hollow cane (translated to French as "cannes creuse) with a bottle of absinthe inside. Now that is an absinthe enthusiast - or is it simply the definition of someone with a serious drinking problem?
