Cocktail Recipe: The Crocodile, a Traditional Anarchist Favorite (Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day)

[Dave Monroe]

    “I’ll be in the bar,” said Reef. Yzles-Bains was in fact one of
the few places on the continent of Europe where a sober Anarchist
could find a decent Crocodile—equal amounts of rum, absinthe, and the
grape spirits known as trois-six—a traditional Anarchist favorite,
which Loïc the bartender, a veteran of the Paris Commune, claimed to
have been present at the invention of.

A cocktail recipe from Thomas Pynchon’s novel Against the Day. (More
on trois-six here; good luck finding real absinthe).

Bonus recipe: Kit Traverse’s drink invention:

    “‘Love in the Shadows of Pera,’ ” Kit said. “It’s just Creme de
Menthe and beer.”
