Place all ingredients in a shaker tin and dry shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Add ice into the shaker and shake until chilled. Fine strain into a glass and garnish with activated charcoal powder eyes and put on a smile with Angostura bitters.

Notes

It's based on a drink from the Savoy cocktail book called the Eagle’s Dream that’s a mix of gin, creme de violette, lemon, and egg white, but I’ve added a bit of absinthe for that little "push" into madness. :)
