From the Bartender
The Turf Cocktail appears in late 19th-century bar manuals in several variations - some call for absinthe in place of anise liqueur, which sharpens the anise note considerably and pushes the drink closer to a Death in the Afternoon territory. If using absinthe, reduce to 2–3 ml to keep it in balance.
