The Modernista is a scotch whisky cocktail livened up by the addition of absinthe/pastis and arrack-based Swedish Punsch.[1][2] It was listed in Ted Haigh's book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, and is also known as the Modern Maid cocktail.[3] A bitter cocktail balanced by punsch, it has been called "a sophisticated, if challenging, beverage".[4]
