1 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
1/4 oz Absinthe (Kübler)
2 slice Cucumber
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe (single old fashioned glass).
Two Wednesdays ago, I returned to Sasha Petraske: Regarding Cocktails after researching the East Side to make another cucumber drink, namely the Hole in the Cup. The recipe was crafted by Lauren McLaughlin as her absinthe-tequila-pineapple riff on Sasha's gin-based Gordon's Cup. The name stemmed from how fast guests could drain the liquid in their glass even with the presence of absinthe in the mix.

I finally got around to trying this almost a year later. This was great! I'm honestly shocked at how well the absinthe plays in this little diddy. I may have to steal that move.
Was it your intention to have both cucumber slices muddled though?
I rechecked the book. The instructions are to have 3 slices of cucumber. Two are shaken with the rest of ingredients and ice, and the third is for garnish. There is no muddling step, although it would not be wrong as an adaptation of the recipe.
