Calling this a martini is a bit of a stretch, though not as much as an espresso or lemon drop.
It is characterized by a cloud layer in the middle of the drink that disappears if gently swirled, so an over-sized martini glass is best for it.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 oz chilled Gin of your choice
3/4 oz Countreau
1/4 oz high-proof Absinthe
1/2 oz ice cold water
You can substitute Vodka for Gin, but I find the drink works better with Gin, and I generally prefer Vodka martinis.
Don't substitute Grand Marnier for Countreau. You want a clear, sweet orange liqueur for the base to counter the Absinthe bitterness.
The drink is built, layered in a martini glass.
First, pour in the Cointreau.
Next, louche the Absinthe with the water and float over a barspoon over the Countreau.
Finally, float the Gin over a barspoon over the louched Absinthe.
If done properly, you will have a cloud layer in the middle of the glass that disappears upon recommended swirling by the customer.
If you choose to garnish, an expressed orange peel works well, but I find it detracts from the presentation. If you insist, best to express the peel and balance it on the rim of the glass.

Democrats are the descendents of an unholy union of these two groups.
