The Weeper's Joy is a vintage cocktail that was created by William Schmidt and was first published in his book The Flowing Bowl: When & What To Drink. Although many variations of the recipe exist in the modern day, it's traditionally made with absinthe, vermouth, kümmel, simple syrup, and citrus, resulting in an extremely dry recipe that mostly only appeals to those with more developed palates.
Add absinthe, sweet vermouth, kümmel, simple syrup, and orange curaçao to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a julep strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
