La Berceuse is the brainchild of Jim Ryan from Dressler in New York City as a part of the Pernod Absinthe's "muse series." The inspiration Vincent Van Gogh, and if you know your art history you will remember that shortly after the tragic "ear incident" he painted the motherly La Berceuse. The model was the wife of his postman friend and he ended up doing 4 replicas of it with the intention to hang them together with a Sunflower to portray an overall concept consolation and joy. In that sense, this cocktail is as warm, soothing and comforting as the painting.
