Legendre Old Absinthe House Cocktail

Legendre Old Absinthe House Cocktail

This Legendre Absinthe House Cocktail bottle is a very early Legendre & Co. artifact, dating from the immediate post prohibition era of December 1933.
The still sealed contents which appear to be intact, are likely a pre-mixed Herbsaint Frappé that may have been marketed through The Old Absinthe House.
