After returning from Thanksgiving dinner I wanted a themed cocktail but nothing caught my eye. So I decided to combine a sidecar riff and the Bardstown Sling. The cranberry and orange do remind me of pumpkin and the absinthe prevents the drink from being too sweet.

- 1 1/2 oz Bourbon
- 3/4 oz Cranberry Juice
- 3/4 oz Cointreau
- 1 bsp Absinthe
