Sounds good except for the “pour out the absinthe” part.
Absinthe has such a strong presence it’s often “painted” in a glass rather than added in any measured amount. If you want to conserve your absinthe supply, I’d say, add ice to the glass, and mix the rest of the drink in a tin while it chills. Add a splash of absinthe to the glass, “paint it” by moving the glass circularly quickly, then throwing in your mix from your tin.
